Don Hinman
From Siu-Ling:
 
1)  MEMORIAL GATHERING:  "Please join the First Congregational Church on Saturday, February 1, 2025, to celebrate the life of H. Donald Hinman, our beloved choir and church member of 50 years.  Service begins at 10:30 a.m., and a reception will follow immediately at the church, 309 Highland Road, Ithaca.  All are welcome.  Ample parking at the church lot.

     Don’s signature:  'Remember to sing a little each day.'

     Thank you for your kind remembrance."
 
2)  HELP:  Siu-Ling could use some help clearing out Don's house by next Friday, January 17.  She thinks that Don would prefer for any remaining items to go to someone who could use them, so anyone is welcome to schedule a time to visit and either take items for themselves or for donation elsewhere.  Please call or text Siu-Ling at (607) 279-2550 to schedule a time.  
Tickets
All money you've collected for sold tickets, as well as any unsold tickets, must be turned in by next Friday's rehearsal.  
Concert attire
Plain, solid black, long (sleeves/pants/skirts).  Nothing colorful or sparkly.
 
Orchestra rehearsals are sometimes called "dress" rehearsals, but concert attire is NOT required for those :-)
