September 2010 events

The choir has been invited to sing at two community events this September:

At 4pm on Sunday, September 19 we will open and close a talk & discussion by guest speaker Mary Ann Pevas who has lived and worked in Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and other parts of the Middle East.  Mary Ann Pevas, O.P., a Dominican Sister, and consultant to Middle Eastern bankers, is currently working to dispel the myths about Islam which cause fear and hatred, and to build bridges of understanding between the United States and the Middle East.  This invitation came from Barb Weller (in the tenor section).

7:30pm, Wednesday, September 29, at Somers Hall, College of St. Scholastica,
  in Duluth we will sing at the Duluth-Rania Friendship Exchange Public Reception. This will be an chance to meet Duluth's new friends from Iraqi Kurdistan and to learn more about the Duluth-Rania Friendship Exchange Project, which is building bridges of peace through friendship exchange, sharing culutural, civic and social ideals. Refreshments will be served and the choir will sing. The event is free, but donations welcome to support the project. http://www.duluth-rania.org.

Our spring 2009 choir concert, "Beauty & Tenacity," helped raise funds for sending a group from Duluth to Rania. Now we have the opportunity to welcome a group from Rania, Iraq in our midst. Come be part of welcoming them in song!
