Idea submitted by Pat Kahmann
of Verdugo Hills...


VHSC is going to publish all the dates of chorus shows in our Region. I am going to appoint someone in our chorus to see if she can get members to go to other chorus shows and purchase group tickets.

So many members are just so busy and so involved in their own plans, but maybe if someone actually ordered the tickets for them and planned ahead it might happen!!!


Why not try this in your chorus? What a great way to support each other - and enjoy some good barbershop!!
Past, Present, and Future...

2009 Convention logo
Celebrity City's theme for the 2009 Regional Convention is "Past, Present and Future".

We would like to have each chorus
send pictures of past members, current
members and events, and then, most of
all, of the young women in each chorus
who will be the future of Sweet Adelines
in our region. 

We want to showcase these in our
decorations.  Also any pictures of quartets ...past, present, future.

Pictures sent by e-mail in PDF format will work the best. Send to robinwolf@mac.com or via snail mail and I will scan them and return them:

I need these as soon as possible so we can get our plans together!
 
Summer Sizzler - NEW DATE!
Calendar Update 
DO THIS NOW BEFORE
YOU FORGET!!!  


Dig in your purse for your
calendar ... or open your PDA ...
or launch your computer calendar ... to change the date for 2009 Summer Sizzler!!!


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Was:   June 12-14, 2009 with Diane Porsch and Janet Ashford NOW: JULY 10-12, 2009 with Diane Porsch ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With IES no longer scheduled for every July, Region 11 is hoping to move Summer Sizzler back to July (the way it used to be) so we don't interfere with weddings and graduations in June!  
(FYI - Janet Ashford has asked to be removed from the calendar due to her ongoing health issues.)

Have you changed your calendar yet?
Do it now so there's no confusion later!!!
