Message to Membership – June 1, 2023
Message from the Music Director
Dear Chorale,
I am very much looking forward to the next two weekends, and listening to both new member auditions, as well as re-auditions for A2 & B2. I look at this as a great opportunity to connect one on one, and get the overall pulse of the ensemble. I will also be meeting with first year members in a “interview – only“ format, so if you fall into any of the previously mentioned categories, please take the time to sign up, or at the very least reach out to Steve Cottle if you cannot.
Exciting things are happening with next year’s schedule, and I can’t wait for you all to find out what is in store!
Jack Anthony Pott

In just a few weeks, we kick off our golf tournament on Monday June 26 at Blackledge golf course in Hebron CT. We need volunteers to help set up, monitor games on the course, help with the auction, and clean up.Time slots start at 8 am – perfect for those who live ‘east of the river’, and continue until 4 pm. If you have one hour or 4 hours we welcome you!
Please email Joanne Huelsman for more information!
Participate in the online auction!
-The auction runs from June 12 through June 26. You’ll be surprised at all the wonderful items that are included on the online auction site. This is a great way to support the Chorale if you cannot attend the event – spread the news to others as well.
