Request for singers from Brigid
There’s to be a BIG funeral at St Mary’s Kerrisdale on Thursday 24 September at 3pm, and they want a BIG choir. So far, they’ve asked for the Chilcott “Irish Blessing” and Dubinsky “We Rise Again” – I suspect there will be other requests.
If you’re available that afternoon, please contact Brigid Coult at bcoult@stmaryskerrisdale.ca or brigid@uniserve.com as soon as possible. Honoraria will be paid, or a fee to a choir. Plan for a 2pm call; I’ll confirm things when I’ve heard more from the family and when I know who might be able to sing.
O Canada Sing Out New date Sunday, September 27
The call for a group to sing "O Canada" at Lansdowne is for Sunday 27 September, at 12:30pm, not this weekend. Can you get back to me at brigid@uniserve.com by the end of this week if you might be available; Paul needs to let them know if we might be able to do it. Ideal would be a double-quartet, plus – if we can’t field that, I think it’ll have to be a no (or a soloist?)
Volunteers Needed at Richmond Centre, Sunday, September 13
ROCA will have a table at Richmond Center on Sunday, September 13, 2015 from 11:00AM to 6:00PM to give out information about upcoming concerts and recruit new members. Peter Bayley is looking for a few people who could come out for some time to relieve him for a few minutes. He would appreciate any amount of time you could give; 15 minutes, 1 hour, anything would be a help. If you can help out please email Peter at peterbayley4@gmail.com

However, the January check must be post dated and received in September when you register.
