Dear Chorale Members,
Here are this week’s announcements. If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
Thank you!
Erin Christensen-Mandel, Boulder Chorale Administrator

From Josephine Bynder, Grants Committee Chair:
CALLING ALL IBMers! Jan Wierzba, IBM alumna, has offered to prepare a grant request to IBM for the Chorale. She believes that if the request comes from multiple employees/alumni it has greater chance of success. If you are a member of the IBM "family" please contact Jan at rehearsal or @303-652-2174. Also, if any of you work for a company that does funding for non-profits, please contact Josephine Bynder (303-444-0256) or Stephanie Wanek (303-545-9677) to discuss whether we might apply for funding to your company.

**********************************************************

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

From Judy Fritz, Chorale Member:
Anyone who has United Mileage Plus and has not received credit for the concert tour to Austria last summer can contact me. I may have found a solution to the problem, which is apparently due in part to our original flight home having been cancelled.

From Stephanie Wanek, Fundraising Chair:
A GALA is coming? Members will perform? Yes! Save the date: Sunday, April 30th at the St. Julien Hotel.

This is simply an event you can’t miss and there’s more than one reason why….

1) It’s a celebration of 40 years of the Boulder Chorale featuring a Reception, Cocktails, Gourmet Dinner, Anniversary Champagne Toast, Special Surprises to Honor the Chorale and Entertainment by The Dave Fulker Quintet with a few guest stars!

2) There will be a cabaret collection of songs performed by Chorale members with the quintet after dinner. Members interested in performing a cabaret number have until Tuesday, February 14th to identify themselves and indicate the song they’d like to perform. The final selection of participants (approx 8-10) will follow auditions held at Atonement on Saturday, March 11th between 10am-12pm. A sign-up sheet with time slots will be available during future rehearsals. If you’re interested or have questions, please see Gala Planning Committee member Laura Meyers. Complete event details will be in the next newsletter coming out next week.

Who’s doing all this work?? In the coming weeks and months, you’ll be seeing and hearing a lot about the 40th Anniversary Gala. We are well underway planning a great party for the Chorale with the involvement of the whole community!! Who is this fabulous team volunteering to coordinate the event? The heroines are Inge Moorby, Risa Booze, Jeannette Hillery, Laura Meyer, Stephanie Wanek, Mary Lou Kizer, DeDe Beardsley and Sharon Soderlund. There will be information for you to read, things to solicit, jobs for you to do, stamps to lick and opportunities for you to earn a free ticket to the gala. Stay in tune and help us drum up interest in this great celebration.
