Adam Con will be in Vancouver on Saturday 3 October to do a workshop at St Mary’s Kerrisdale, 10am-3pm. Brigid will have a form at next Tuesday’s rehearsal for group registration at a reduced rate; is there someone who would take on being the coordinator for ROCA registrations, so that it’s paid to BCCF with a single cheque?

If you enjoyed his work with us last fall, you’ll love this workshop!
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.
