Hi Carolyn,
Thanks for letting me know. There's only one Sunday rehearsal in May,
however.
I'll check my dates more carefully.

Hi Leela,
Unfortunately I would not be able to take part in the Wiscasset
performance as that is the day after my mother's memorial service and I
will still be in Vermont. (Sunday is June 4th, not 5th- I only noticed this
because I have that Saturday date imprinted on my brain!)
As far as I know the June 16th date would be fine..
I am not sure yet about the two Sunday rehearsals in May, as I might need
to drive to Vt. to help prep for the service.
It's too bad this is all happening at the same time- it's frustrating for
me, but unfortunately I don't have a choice..
I'll try to make a few Friday lessons, but will def. need to be a drop in
at this point.
Thank you for all you are doing!!
~Carolyn

*Dear Singers,*
I found last night's rehearsal a lot of fun and rewarding. Hope you're
starting to feel more on top of the pieces. It definitely sounds that way!
*THANKS* for your *patience* and *persistence*! Only eight more
rehearsals before the Dress!
*Here are some dates you need to put on your calendar.*
*June 11, 6:oo pm Performance ( call, 4:30 ) Concert Allen Ave UU church*
*June 10, 5-8:30 pm Dress Rehearsal Allen Ave UU church*
*June 9 6-9 pm Pre-dress Rehearsal, Christian Science Church*
*June 6 6:30-9:15 (Tuesday night )*
*June 5 5-8 pm.(Sunday, if needed)*
*May 9, 14, Sunday (5pm ), 16, 23, 30 Tuesdays, 6:30-9.*
*In addition, we would like to have you consider the following ** two
performance **options:*
*June 5, Sunday morning, 10 am, Wiscasset Congregational Church Service:
"The Promise of Living," "Hold On," and "'Goin' Home."*
*June 16, Friday evening, 6:30 pm ( **sing **3-4 pieces) as a prelude to
a Christian Science lecture by John Tyler, (see synopsis of bio below) at
USM. This is a way we could give back to the church that has graciously and
generously permitted our usage, free-of-charge.*
I can't stress enough how important it is to share our gifts and to
develop poise and confidence in performing. We had hoped to sing at Ocean
View and they are already booked, so it would be great if you could commit
to these two possibilities. If we have several singers in each part, I'll
go ahead and book these, *so please let me know asap if you're available.
Also, Let me know about any absence from the above rehearsals.*
*Much appreciation* for your *love of music* and *dedication* in going
the extra miles!

*PSS **John Tyler*, member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship,
earned degrees from the Institut d’Etudes Politiques, Paris, and Princeton
University and then taught political science at Princeton and at the
University of Pittsburgh. He began his professional life as a labor
organizer to protect exploited sweatshop workers. As a social activist he
hoped to solve “all the world’s problems.” He also worked with inmates in a
state penitentiary as a spiritual counselor. He believes we must
understand underlying issues to build a just society He founded a
residence for students at the University of Pittsburgh which seeks to heal
racial divisions; for this he received the YWCA’s Racial Justice Award. John’s
lectures are designed to show how natural it is to change our vision of
ourselves so we all can become spiritual healers.
