A CALL TO SERVICE FOR ALL SOLI MEMBERS

Dearest Members of Soli,

Each of us puts in a great deal of time and effort, approximately 16 rehearsal days or 40 hours of rehearsal time, to reach our stated Soli Deo Gloria goal: "To have a community choir with a musical range that would not only perform the great choral masterpieces with orchestra, but that also would freely provide those masterpieces to the community, thereby enriching both performers and audience."

Performing for free is truly a labor of love and requires volunteer time from the membership. Many have already served and continue to serve on many different levels and their dedication is greatly appreciated. We have a need for new board members. The by-laws state that we must have at least six members but no more than twelve. As with any board, we have some members whose terms are ending and they have a need to return to choir-member status. For those who may have served in the past, or those who have never served, would you consider becoming a part of the Soli Deo Gloria board? We meet once a month, prior to rehearsal at the church, and once a month during the summer. If you have any questions about serving, please do not hesitate to talk to either Mike or Juliette.

If you are willing to serve please plan to attend the Annual Meeting and put your name in nomination.

USHERS NEEDED FOR THE CONCERT

We are still in need of additional ushers to help with the concert on Saturday, May 1. Our fund raising success at the last concert was directly attributable to the numbers of ushers we had. We were able to effectively cover the entire main floor and balcony during the intermission. If you have high school kids who need credit for a volunteer activity please ask them to consider helping us out. Perhaps you have adult guests coming to the concert who would be willing to help us out.

LAST TWO WEEKS TO BUY TEXAS ROADHOUSE COUPONS

The coupons for $5.00 off a meal at the Texas Roadhouse Steakhouse on 8th Street will be on sale for two more weeks . They are available for $3.00 each. All proceeds for the sale of the coupons go to Soli where they will be used to defer the costs of hiring an orchestra for our concert.
