Tags and Swipes, Winter 2023

From our Team Coordinator

Happy New Year! It is a new year and a new time for us as individuals, as choruses and as Sweet
Adelines. It is much more than the change of writing 2022 to 2023. It is the change of the world,
our daily lives, how we greet others – who we hug and who we smile and nod to. We have
experienced change in almost all aspects of our lives. That includes Sweet Adelines.

President John F. Kennedy once said “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past
or the present are certain to miss the future.”

And so, we too must look forward not to forget the past (there are so many wonderful memories and
experiences to hold on to) but to take what we know, what we have and make the very best of our
time together. Regional events will begin to look and feel different. But the education and fun will
continue. The RMT and resource teams are working diligently to plan and provide quality events
while working within the parameters of 2023 and beyond. Those parameters include fewer active
members, less revenue, prior contracts that must be honored, health concerns but also members who
are hungry for more education, more opportunities to learn and grow, events to be together with
friends from around the Region and to sing, sing, sing.

The RMT cannot do this alone, we need your help. We need to hear from you, what do you want?
What can you do to help us get there? This is not 2019 and it certainly isn’t 2022 any longer. It is
2023, and the world has changed. Don’t miss the future – be a part of it!

In harmony,
