Skyline E-Communication
January 27, 2002
---------------------
THIS COMING TUESDAY:
Your $20 portion of the regional
competition REGISTRATION FEE must be paid by January 29. In other words: RIGHT
NOW! Please make checks to Skyline Chorus, write "registration" on
the check, and give to Lurlene Unruh. Your registration will not be sent in
if your check is not received!
Mel will teach R&B (choreo) at
6:15.
Renee Norcross will do PERFORMANCE
COACHING during the last part of rehearsal. If you are new to Skyline: Renee is
often credited with making a huge difference in Skyline’s level of focus and
performance. Vickie feels her directing is greatly enhanced by Renee’s
teachings. If you don’t feel that Renee’s techniques are a "good fit"
for you personally, know that other chorus members really appreciate your
willingness to cheerfully cooperate so as not to distract those who are
benefiting.

It’s time to SIGN UP for ROOMS AT
NASHVILLE. Sign up sheets and hotel information will be on a table near the
mailboxes. You will NEED: credit card # to guarantee the room, names of those
staying in the room, arrival date, departure date, smoking or non/smoking,
handicap access yes/no. Since this is for International Competition and a very
large number of people are involved, be aware that if you have two people in a
room, you may end up with a queen sized bed instead of two beds. (No whining.
[Well, okay, you can whine. It just won’t do you any good.]) Contact Joanie
Steele if you have questions (joknee17@aol.com). In Nashville, Skyline is
scheduled to rehearse on the International risers from 1-3 pm on Tuesday, Nov
3. On Nov 4, we will have a rehearsal and the quartet semi-finals begin. Thurs.
at 11 am, chorus semifinals begin - this is where we qualify for the top 10!
Quartet finals are Friday. Chorus finals are Saturday. Return home Sunday. You
can go to sweetadelineintl.org for more information.
RAISING FUNDS for SPECIAL PROJECTS.
Your management team would like to remind you that any project to raise funds
in the name of the chorus needs to be approved by management team. Also, any
funds received in the name of the chorus must be channeled through our
financial manager. We’ve got to keep clean records for our audits! (Your
bookkeepers thank you, Uncle Sam thanks you, SAI thanks you……)
We need RAFFLE ITEMS for our booth at
regional. Three baskets will be raffled - each having a different theme. So, please
bring items to go with these themes and give them to Liz Simmons: *Chocolate*;
*Romance*; *Garden*
CHANGE IN ANNOUNCEMENTS POLICY: In
answer to complaints from chorus members on the amount of time taken for
announcements, management team is responding as follows: Ecomm and/or Hot Sheet
should be used for announcements. If something is posted in the E-Comm and/or
Hot Sheet, it will not be repeated in front of the chorus. Exceptions can be
made for topics dealing with competitions, shows, etc.
SINGING VALENTINE VOLUNTEERS:
"You are the greatest! How wonderful that so many members stepped forward
this year! We should now have enough quartets during the day of the 14th
to avoid turning down orders. This project is on its way to becoming a very
important fundraiser for Skyline. NOW THEN: Let’s all post flyers (nail/hair
salons, at work, etc.) and sell, sell, sell!!! Take order forms. Send one
to your sweetie, child, parent, best friend, teacher, child's classroom, leave
a flyer in some convenient place where your sweetie will be sure to find the
hint and send one to YOU!!! (Roses die, you know!!! And Tootsie Roll Pops are
WAY less calories than that Godiva stuff!!! Really!) Give a flyer to your dad
and let him know what a great gift it would be for your mom! The price is $40
and includes one song, a small gift card and a Valentine gift bag containing a
Tootsie Roll Pop Bouquet." Peggie Watson
We have HANDICAP ACCESS at the
consistory. Come up the ramp to the glass doors, and use the elevator.
COSTUME UPDATE: If you bought
half-boots to wear in the second set, great! If you didn’t, that’s fine, too.
Costuming plans now call for some of us to wear them and some of us to wear
other kinds of shoes. So, if you don’t have half boots, you can be in
"other kinds".
ILENE MCMAHON’s daughters are honoring
her 75th birthday (January 18th) with an open house on Saturday, February 2nd
4-7pm in the "Kivas" condo party room, 3675 S. Cherokee Street,
Englewood. We are ALL INVITED. Ilene requests no gifts except your presence. Any
cards or acknowledgments can be sent to her address in the roster. You can RSVP
to Jackie at 303-841-5612, and contact her if you need directions/map.
"Skyline AFFIRMATIONS... they're
back! What's a Skyline Affirmation? A short and positive message about a
cherished value (such as vision, passion, friendship, courage, determination,
etc.) delivered to the chorus by individual members (Why not you?). It could be
a famous quotation, a short poem, or an inspiring prose paragraph you know all
of us would benefit from hearing. Affirmations will begin on Feb. 12 as a
once-a-month event and continue through this fall when we will offer them more
frequently. If you would like to present an affirmation to the chorus sometime
in the next 9 months (it should be no more than three minutes long), pick up
the information sheet at chorus and sign up on the clipboard. If you would like
to recommend someone to present one, please give her name to Julie Bailey, our
volunteer coordinator for affirmations." Julie
