It’s Free Day at the zoo, so parking will, itself, be a
zoo. Plan lots of time for finding a spot. Carpooling would be good.
NASHVILLE DEADLINE. If you did not get your Intent to Compete to
Gail before last Tuesday (Oct 2), you did not get registered for
Nashville. (Those of you who told me Tuesday night, sorry, but the check had
already been cut and the list made up.) HOWEVER, you can still get registered
by March 1 - along with our members who are just joining - and get seats with
the rest of Skyline. You can also register guests to sit with us. Watch this
space for more information. Do not panic. All is not lost. However, it is your
responsibility to watch for the information and when it comes out pounce on it!
I shall not hunt you down. Much.
Jan Ishimoto will be sending out NEXT WEEK’S ECOMM. If you have
information to be included, please get it to her by noon Friday, Oct 12. Her
email is ISHUPP@aol.com

From Linn Pickard, "To those who
volunteered to handle chorus TICKET SALES for our Christmas Show within their
respective sections: appreciative glad-handing, pats-on-the-back,
kisses-on-the-cheeks, a hearty THANKS!
LEADS: Gail Madison, Jenifer Vaughn,
& Diane Aarness
BASSES: Diane Kessel & Sue Gilbert
TENORS: Jeanne Schamel
BARITONES: Therese Bickford
Tickets will be available for
check-out from these folks on either October 23 or 30. All payments will have
to be finalized and unsold tickets returned to them by dress rehearsal the week
before the show. Keep that in mind! Let's all remember that a "Full
House" is a winning hand and begin to plan now to make a good effort for
just that."

From Wendy Moran, "My son is in
the "Young Voices" concert choir (formerly known as the
"Littleon Children's Chorale") and they are selling ads for their
"Viewbook". I'm going to buy a business card size ad, which I thought
I'd use to promote Skyline Chorus. Is anyone else interested in making a
contribution to buy a larger size ad? The business size is $40, which is about
the highest I can go. A quarter page (3-1/2" x 6") is $100; (just 12
more people to throw in $5 each) and a half page is $200. Let me know. Thanks!
Wendy"

From Bette Rooney: "Since I was in Rothenberg, Germany when I learned of
the terrorist attacks, I thought you might be interested in a first hand
account of how that part of the world reacted to the tragedy. The support was
very touching and ran the gamut from hardboiled Parisian cabdriver to German
shopkeeper. It was 3:00 PM in Rothenberg, 7:00 AM in Denver on September 11th
and I felt the irony of learning the news before Colorado had fully awakened.
Shopkeepers, many of whom had tears in their eyes, were approaching us
expressing sympathy and support. As we continued our travels we saw memorials
scattered in different parts of various towns with piles of flowers and notes
in broken English, expressing how much the dead were mourned and would be
missed. When we arrived in Cologne some days later, two huge bridges crossing
the Rhein were filled to capacity with people marching with American flags. I
believe this unspeakable act has polarized the world and it is my fervent hope
that I will always remember the togetherness of spirit I felt that day."
