Summer Soiree a Great Success!
I had a great time at the summer soiree/picnic/barbecue, and so did about 35 other Soli members! The weather was great, the food was delicious, and the pavillon at the Air Force Academy Family camp was a very pleasant site to renew friendships and meet some new members.
Thank you to our board for organizing this get-together!
Change in Dues
Dues are being raised to $50 this semester, due to continued increases in costs for the choir, including rental of orchestra scores, rehearsal space, programs, etc., and balancing the budget with our revenue sources. We appreciate your help in our fundraising efforts and in encouraging generous concert-goers to attend and support Soli Deo Gloria. We appreciate your understanding of this difficult decision.

NOTE: On the CPDL pieces, there are a variety of editors and editions. Soli will be providing copies of these, so please do not download for your yourself. If you already have these, you may bring them to registration to see if they are the same editions or not.
Performance Attire Swap & Sale is Sept 17, 6pm, First United Methodist Church Fellowship Hall. If you are no longer able to sing with us, please attend to sell your performance attire, or email us to make alternate arrangements.
If you've changed sizes, and your tux or dress no longer fit well, please plan to attend so you can look and feel your best for our concerts. Please plan to set a price for your own attire.
News & Notes Emails; why I am getting them?
We've been emailing an expanded mailing list over the summer, due to the upcoming performance attire sale, and for returning/potential members. After Sept 17, 2012, routine News & Notes will be sent only to registered members. We'll still plan to send a pre-concert announcement to our entire mailing list.
Hope you've had a great summer; I look forward to seeing you in just a few weeks.
