IT  TAKES  A  VILLAGE
 

 
     Ross' Refrain

   THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
 
   Thank you for your tireless dedication to learning the music I put in front of you. Thank you for going on this Monday-night journey with me every week. Thank you for the card, and the kind words. Thank you for the smiles, and the laughs, and the focus, and the heckles. Thank you for the beautiful chill-and-tear-inducing sounds you made on Saturday. And thank you for your VOICES!
 
  Can’t wait to do it again in September!

Bravo!
 
  What a lovely and fun concert!  Thank you all for putting in the extra work that I know from chatting with some of you was a bit more than usual. Thank you as well to all those who helped with set up and tear down. It Takes a Village!
 
Ross,
      Thank you for challenging us once again and for helping us believe we could actually do it!  It's good to feel that we are always learning and progressing, when it really just feels like fun. You truly take our VOICES experience to the next level with your kind, positive, entertaining, and energetic presence. We appreciate you!
       Thank you for sharing your lovely family with us. Keri, Saia and Emma all hold a special place in our hearts, and we love having them share our experience.
 
Sadie,
       Your performance was breathtaking. It was wonderful to hear you play, and I must say you looked stunning. Thank you for a year of helping us through the rehearsal process.  We all know that takes a specific/different skill set, and we so appreciate you!  You will be missed. If you ever happen to be home on a VOICES concert date, please come and say hello. Best wishes from your entire VOICES family!
 
     That's it for this semester.  I hope you enjoyed your experience enough to come back in September and join us again. Bring a friend or acquaintance to try it out (without commitment) for the first 3 rehearsals. As our membership grows, so does our sound and the ability to keep VOICES affordable for all. 
 
    If you'd like to continue singing over our summer break, please check out "Summer Sing" on our website at: acithaca.org.
 
Be well and enjoy your summer,
Sherrie

Kudos!
     Great job everyone! What a room full of smiles. Lots of great feedback all around. Our audience count was 115 and we received more than $1,000 in support; first time we have done that since we went with freewill admission.
