TIES FOR NEW MEN

As you have already read in your handbook, chorus men will be wearing dark suits and regulation ties for the Sunday afternoon concert. (Tuxes and bow tie for Saturday & Monday nights.) Men new to the chorus need to purchase regulation ties prior to the Barber concerts. The price has gone up this year to $25, but it is still a bargain, as the store price is $39! See Lee Williams to buy your tie.

BARBER TICKETS

Sign up for Barber tickets this week and next. If you are only interested in your one complimentary ticket, please sign the comp list in the hall. If you want to purchase tickets located with your comp, please do NOT sign the list in the hall - fill out a form on the table instead. If you want to purchase tickets that have nothing to do with your comp, please sign the comp list in the hall AND fill out a ticket form on the table! Questions? See Cheryl.

A NOTE OF THANKS

I owe many of you a debt of gratitude, but a special word of thanks for their extra help with Opening Night to Aurelie Desmarais, Thi Ha, Judy Hill, Larry Hitt, Sally Hoffecker, Kirsten Jordon, Linda Peters, Amy Post, Jan Tuttle, and Beth Weidler.

FUND-RAISING OPPORTUNITY

We have received our first invitation to put together octets to sing during the Christmas season. The dates needed are Nov. 17, 18, 24, 25, all at Kemah, and money received will be used to beef up our chorus tour fund. See Cheryl tonight if you are available.
