~IMPORTANT FOR THIS COMING TUESDAY
This week, Tues, Nov 20, we will be REHEARSING DOWNTOWN at
Scottish Rites Masonic Consistory, 1370 Grant Street, Denver.
DIRECTIONS: The Consistory is located on the southeast corner of
Grant and 14th, catty-corner from the Colorado State Capitol Building on the
northwest corner of Grant & 14th. With the exception of Colfax, most
streets are ONE WAY. The area is a neighborly mix of business and residential;
parking is allowed on most streets but finding a space may be difficult.
We have permission to use the public lot on the northeast corner
of Logan and 14th (one block east of the Consistory) and another on the
southwest corner of Pennsylvania and 14th (two blocks east of the Consistory).
The lots are free BUT: any cars left in either lot after 6 AM WILL BE TOWED
AT OWNER'S EXPENSE – NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Also, DO NOT park behind the
Consistory or in the Church lot across the street!! Also, DO NOT park in the
Salvation Army lot - they will ticket and tow your car!
DID YOU READ THE ABOVE PARAGRAPH VERY VERY CAREFULLY? IF
NOT, YOUR CAR COULD BE TOWED!
- From North or South of Denver: Take I-25 to the Colfax East exit.
Travel east several blocks to Grant Street (the State Capitol will be on your
right). Turn right (south) on Grant (it's one way, you can't go north). You'll
see the Consistory or the southeast corner of Grant and 14th (one block). Turn
left on 14th to parking lot on northeast corner of Logan and 14th. (If you miss
the turn on 14th, go south on Grant to 12th, turn left/east one block to Logan,
turn left/north two blocks to 14th.)
- From Aurora and Southeast suburbs: Take Parker
Road/Leetsdale to Colorado Blvd. Turn right/north on Colorado, then left (west)
on 1st Avenue which will take you past Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Stay on
First past University Blvd. where First becomes Speer Blvd. Continue on Speer
to Logan (it's just after Pennsylvania) and there's a traffic light at this
intersection. Turn right/north on Logan to 14th and park in the public lot on
the northeast corner. Walk west on 14th one block to the Consistory.
- From Southwest and West suburbs: Take Santa Fe north to
14th Street. Turn right (east). You'll pass the Consistory at Grant (on the
right). Proceed to Logan and park in the public lot on the northeast corner.
Walk one block west back to the Consistory.
- Enter the Consistory through the glass doors. Locate elevator
(or stairs) and go one floor down to the dining room.
Katie lives in this neighborhood and is scouting a place for us to
gather/eat/drink/socialize after rehearsals.

SCHOOL at 6:30. Please wear or bring the top that you plan to wear in the

"LIFE IS JUST A BOWL OF TICKETS..." "A TICKET HERE,
A TICKET THERE..." "I GOT A TICKET, YOU GOT A TICKET, ALL GOD'S
CHILDREN GOT TICKETS!" "WHO WILL BUY THIS WONDERFUL TICKET?" Ad
nauseum...Not feeling too clever today, but still trying to make my point and
be encouraging to us all. Our Christmas Show is going to be so special; let's
make sure plenty of people have the opportunity to find that out for
themselves!
TICKET TAKERS still NEEDED: I think I have one ticket taker for
each show, but need someone to work with them so that there are two at the
table for each performance. I've found willing husbands to usher the reserved
section. Thanks all!
Will Call Ticket Info: If you know that you will have family, friends,
associates who will be picking up tickets the day of the show at "will
call," we need to know about it before the day of the performances. Please
talk to me (Linn) and I will make sure the tickets you request get put in the
names of those folks, placed in an envelope and are at the ticket table the day
of the performance. Easier for me to handle this than to take up the time of
the section ticket people.
Also, Josie Robinson has volunteered to help with the Baritone
section so if Therese isn't available, talk to Josie.
See you Down Town on Tuesday!" Linn Pickard

- "RECIPES....ONE MORE WEEK!! We will accept your recipes for
another week. Go ahead and email them if you want to kellylcowan@home.com or
Julie_Bailey@ceo.cudenver.edu. We want to make this book good to sell - and
that means PLENTY of recipes. This can be a GREAT money maker. They practically
sell themselves. Please - EVERY MEMBER should give at least ONE RECIPE! Even if
you don't cook - find someone who does! THANKS!!" Kelly
- Kelly Cowen FOUND a pair of sunglasses at chorus. Are they
yours?
- Marie Reynolds FOUND a well loved cookbook at the Ascot. Want it
back?
- Kelly NEEDS HELP in setting up and putting away the SOUND
EQUIPMENT for chorus. It is a really EASY job - you just have to be able to
lift a little - and come 15 min prior and stay 15 min after chorus to set up
and put away. This can be a shared position - 1 to 150 people - all are
welcome! We can set up a working shift. Please contact Kelly if you can help.
