BLUE
NOTES FOR TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 2008
10:00 A.M. this coming Saturday, May 3: That’s the time.
83 South Deere Park Drive in Highland Park: That’s
the place.
Preparing patron mailings for our spring fund drive: That’s
the job.
Making an important contribution while enjoying friendly
conversation and yummy treats: That’s the
reward.
“I’ll be there!”: That’s the response.
847/433-0498: That’s the number to call to give Barbara
Weiner this response or to get more information.
The Nominating Committee is seeking people interested in helping
on various committees: Art, Desktop Publishing, and Publicity
(these tasks can be rearranged, depending on who would like to do
what), Patrons, and Concert Set-up. If you might be interested,
or would like to know more about what tasks these committees have
traditionally done, please talk to anyone on the Committee: Bass
John Summerhays, Altos Joan Merchan and Karen Rigotti, Soprano Karen
Fish Schurder, or Tenor Dave Wojtowicz.
Anne Harkonen has Elijah tickets for sale this evening—before
rehearsal begins and during the break. Remember the prices?
$22.00 regular, $20.00 senior, $12.00 youth.
It’s about the Poulenc CDs: They will soon be ready.
Larry Eckerling was disappointed that--because of the positioning
of the mikes--we are sometimes overwhelmed by the orchestra; as a
result, we are being offered these CDs for $10.00 (no more than two
to a customer). Next Tuesday, we will have an opportunity to hear
the CD and then make up our minds whether to buy or not. (They will
probably be available at that time.)
Up-to-date membership lists are still available. Contracts
for donations to the silent auction at the November benefit are,
too,
Last week, Ellen Schrodt, host of "Our Town Evanston," interviewed
Donald and Sharon regarding the Elijah concert on Saturday,
June 7. The Evanston Channel 6 Cable Access Show will air on Tuesday,
May 22, at 7:30 P.M., and on Saturday, May 26, at 1:00 P.M. Reminders
will be frequent.
Following Evensong this coming Sunday, May 4, Roland Martin,
organ professor at the State University of New York in Buffalo, will
give an organ concert at The Parish Church of Saint Luke. 939 Hinman
Avenue in Evanston. In addition, at Evensong, the choirs will sing
Martin’s setting in C Major of the Evening Canticles,
with the composer himself accompanying at the organ.
