Cash preferred, or checks payable to HSC.

Women  -- new members and others needing to order a Chorus dress: See wardrobe manager Patsy Wilson (alto 1) if you have questions, or she will be contacting you by e-mail this week.  Dress fittings will take next week before rehearsal.

$$ Dues & Music Deposits

are Due!!

It’s time to collect the annual dues—still a real bargain at $10.  Dues help to defray the costs of social events, pay for years of service pins, awards, pencils, and other office supplies for the chorus.  Please give your dues to your section leader (and introduce yourself if you are new, or if your section leader is new!).

New members are asked to pay a one-time music deposit of $15.  This is refundable when you leave the chorus if you do not have outstanding borrowed music.  You can give this to your section leader as well.

Coming Soon:

A new

“Choral Subscription Pack” from the Symphony

As in the past two years, the Symphony will be offering a mini-subscription packet for choral enthusiasts.  These packages will definitely save money for your friends and family, and will also serve as a fund-raiser for the Chorus.  Details, and hopefully brochures, will be available in the next week or two.  Meanwhile, if you have friends who bought these packets last year, let them know that this opportunity is coming again soon!!
