       Dear Region One,

       It’s not what happens to you, but how you react    We will continue to function as Sweet Adelines
       to it that matters. Epictetus wrote these wise     to the best of our abilities and at some point, we
       words almost 2000 years ago yet they are           will be singing together again. Keep singing no
       extremely appropriate for our world today. We      matter where you are or what you sing – but keep
       have all been affected by the events of 2020; each  a song coming forth and you will find your day
       of us in different ways and to different degrees. It  just a little brighter and the smiles on the faces
       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?



                                                                                                   3
