From Paul Haynes, Music Librarian: REVISED BILLS

Because of our concert program change for May 2006, everyone will get a revised bill on Tuesday evening, 2/21, at rehearsal. The revised bills will be in alphabetical order on a table in the Atonement narthex, waiting to be picked up as if they were pieces of sheet music. These bills will be printed on white paper. They are yours to keep for your records.

We are asking that you pay the amount on the bill by 3/14. Give your check to Jeff Hale (treasurer) or mail it to Treasurer, Boulder Chorale, 685 Inca Parkway, Boulder, CO, 80303.

Thank you for your patience with this process.

-- Paul Haynes, sheet music librarian

p.s. ... Regarding the Brahms requiem: The Chorale Board is hoping that you will see fit to keep this sheet music in anticipation of performing it in 2007. However, if you feel the need to return the Brahms for a credit, please bring your "bill" and your "Brahms" to me (Paul Haynes) at break time or after rehearsal. I will be standing at the kitchen counter and we can complete this adjustment. I will be available for this purpose from now until 3/14.

From Stephanie Wanek, Fundraising Chair:

IT'S OUR 40th B'DAY & WE'D LIKE A CARD FROM OUR FRIENDS! Community Birthday Card info packs are available beginning this week! We're going to construct a huge birthday card to celebrate our 40th anniversary. It will be a display of messages from the community with photos and art in between the grid of salutations.

See it unveiled at the gala on 4/30 and on display at the 5/6 concert. We think this is a cool way of inviting the community to celebrate our 40 years in the arts and we hope the end-product will be a fun collective effort. In addition to community and advertising, it's also a fundraising opportunity. We're asking for a $40 contribution for each Birthday Card submission.

Please take a packet or two and give it to your favorite business, restaurant or store. For an advertising opportunity, you can't beat $40 for a 4x6 inch ad!! We'll put their logo and a little Happy Birthday and in addition to supporting us, they'll get great exposure.

Remember, there's also an incentive program. For every three messages you gather from businesses or friends, you can earn a free gala ticket!

NOTE: When you take packets to distribute to local businesses, please use the pad of paper next to the box and write down the names you plan on approaching. We'll keep a list of companies already approached as well as a running list of businesses who have agreed. The more we receive, the bigger and bigger the card will grow.

Please refrain from wearing/using scents in the group. Some members are very sensitive and can become ill. Thank you for your consideration.

Grocery Scrip will be on sale during the break. Scrip acts like cash at King Soopers grocery stores and by buying Scrip, you help support the Chorale!

The Annual Meeting of the Boulder Chorale will be held on MONDAY, May 8, at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in their Jubilee Hall (lower level). It includes our usual end-of-the-season festivities, a pot luck supper, recognition of honorees, and the annual business meeting, which includes the election of Board members. Please let JoAn or Elsbeth know if you might be interested in a Board position.
