Christmas Newsletter 2002

 

 Dear Members,

 

elcome back from a hot, steamy Ontario summer! Our Summer School is passed and gone with great accolades of grandeur pouring in from all over. Many thanks to all those who made this a great success, including all the registrants who made it a “go.”

 

            Due to the eighteen months of preparation for the Summer School, planning for any Fall events was impossible.

 

            The committee met on Friday, September 13th, 9:30 a.m. at Knox United Church in Cornwall.  The Questionnaire turned in by 23 of the registrants was reviewed and plans were discussed for the Spring events which will be Hymn Festivals and Reluctant Organist/Choir Director workshops.  Don Findlay has offered to host an all day event at MacKay United in Ottawa in Sept. 2003.

 

            After the meeting we had a lovely walk to 340 Sydney St. where Rosemary and Bill Brown had a wonderful lunch prepared for us.  Many thanks, Rosemary and Bill!!  We all appreciated this very much.....certainly better than any restaurant.

 

Included in the Newsletter are reports and pictures of the Summer School.

   

God sent His singers upon earth,

With songs of sadness and of mirth,

That they might touch the hearts of men

   And bring them back to Heaven again.”

                          Longfellow

 

 


Wishing you Peace and Love at Christmas Time and a Wonderful,
Musical New Year!
