The Evergreen Choir will be celebrating the Christmas season with their annual Christmas Concert on Saturday, December 12. Tickets are only $5 each with children 14 years and under free with a ticket.
As always, the choir will be singing songs of the season with some members singing solos or duets. We are also pleased to bring the Impromptu Brass, a local group of five musicians, who not only will be playing the processionals and recessionals but also accompanying the choir in two selections as well as playing on their own on two occasions.
It should be a fun afternoon. The audience is always invited to join in with the sing-alongs, which are a part of every Evergreen Choir concert. Dr. Richard Heinzle with be directing the choir and accompanied on the piano by Hadara Jacoby.
Jim Gilchrist will be the Master of Ceremonies once again. The event is sponsored in part by Hollandview Trail Retirement Community and refreshments will be served at intermission.

CHRISTMAS BAZAAR
The Christmas Bazaar on Saturday, November 7, was a great success. The woodshop members had many articles for sale, including Christmas trees as wooden puzzles, wooden toys and beautiful pens. The kitchen volunteers were kept busy all day serving coffee, muffins, sandwiches, etc. The Craft Room, where the food was served, was always full. The Knotty Knitters had a table as did the sewing people. Ann’s Bake Table was also very busy. All in all, it was a great day. A big thank you goes out to the many volunteers who helped to make the day such a success.
