has not been easy to stay positive especially around you will be just a little bigger.
about singing together again but I encourage you
to continue to be a part of activities available to
you whether they be chorus rehearsals, virtual
classes being offered by the Region and other
groups, virtual choruses, social hours and any
other opportunity to stay connected. Keep in
touch with each other, your riser mates, your
friends, your musical leaders and even the
member you may typically just smile and say
hello to. It may take new and different ways to
stay in touch since we no longer are physically
together. So pick up the phone, write a short note,
reach out and be connected! Share your smile and
the song of your heart.
Your RMT has been very busy since May 1 – we
are energized and excited to serve you. We have
had to be more creative and yet this creativity has
resulted in new and interesting opportunities for Becky King
our members. We are listening – so continue to teamcoord@sai-region1.org
speak up! We hope that you are also listening. Region 1 Team Coordinator
We strive to be open and honest and keep you in
the know. If you are not hearing from us, let us
know. Feel free to contact me personally to share
what is on your mind.
Think about getting involved – with your chorus,
with the region - there are many opportunities of
varying degrees. Our goal is to have at least one
member from every Region 1 chorus involved on
a resource team helping to guide this region. So
why not you? Why not now?
