[Choir] Some Announcements

[Art Bryan Manabat]

While you're all drying off from the soaking rain, here are several 
reminders for you to read of things happening soon.

First, Bethany's theater company is having its load-in for Merchant of 
Venice this Saturday starting at 11am at the West Side Theatre in 
Jersey City. I went there last year with some of your fellow choir 
members, and it was a lot a fun (but also quite exhausting if you are 
hanging lights) and the actors and other volunteers who work with you 
are an entertaining bunch. You can also help sew costumes and build 
sets. This is a great learning experience, particularly if you have an 
interest in theater. I can't go this year, but if you want to help out, 
please email the company manager Cindy Boyle at asc.cindy at gmail.com. 
You can email me if you need info about getting there via light rail. 
Also keep in mind that we're planning a choir trip there in a few weeks 
for the show.

Second, Bethany's opera performance as Olympia (a singing mechanical 
doll) in Les Contes d'Hoffmann over at Rutgers-New Brunswick is next 
Friday, February 8 at 8pm. Here we would need some volunteers to drive 
so that those of us who wish to attend ($15 ticket) can carpool over 
there. If not we can take a train, but we may end up in the middle of 
nowhere, or something out of Weird NJ.

Third, please make an effort to attend the Hoboken Community Service 
Organization Club Fair TODAY in Bissinger from 1pm to 3pm, which 
happens to be organized by your Choir VP Ronen Peled. Come anytime 
during those hours and help your community by signing up as a volunteer 
or even as an intern in a city department! Free food!
