Dues are due!!

It’s time to pay the $10 annual Chorus dues.  Dues payments help out with such expenses as nametags and other office supplies for the chorus, refreshments for special events, and years of service pins.   New members should also pay their one time music deposit ($15).  If paying by check, make check payable to the Houston Symphony Chorus.  Checks should be given to your section leader, or if s/he is absent, you may give them directly to treasurer Lynne Moneypenny (making sure to also give her your name, so she can keep track of who has paid!).

There will be a short Chorus Council Meeting TONIGHT after rehearsal, in the rehearsal room. 

MAHLER ITSs WILL BE HELD NOV. 9, during the second half of rehearsal.  Please plan on staying even if you are not staying to rehearse the Christmas Pops music.  If you know you will miss that rehearsal, please contact Susan S. and make arrangements to do this some other time.  As per the Chorus Handbook, all provisional members, and those who missed 3 or more rehearsals for the Mahler, will be required to sing an ITS before being allowed to sing the concert series.  A list is posted in the hall if you can’t remember how many rehearsals you have missed.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped out with the KUHF pledge drive!!  Volunteers included Vickie Davis, Corita Dubose, Sally Evans, Richard Field, Denise Holmes, Chuck Izzo, Suzanne Mitchell, Robert Reynolds, Veronica & Jon Stevens, and Carolee Weber.  And a big thanks to Suzanne Mitchell for organizing this effort to help the station that broadcasts our concerts!!
