news from the capital

Wow what a big weekend! Bel Canto, my choir celebrated their 20th anniversary. Last night the current members went out to dinner and today we had our concert down at the guide hall. We had quite a few ex-members in the audience as well as family and friends. We all picked two of our favourite songs and Yolande and I picked two of Jean's favourites, our member who died a few years ago. (It was also good to have Ted, Jean's husband there with us to celebrate) We had 22 songs in all and sang for about an hour then had afternoon tea. We raised over $200 for the school Caroline (one of our choir members) taught at in Nepal last week. Caroline is heading back over there in a few weeks and $200 will buy them lots of supplies! We have also been performing some of the programme at nursing homes over the last few weeks. This week I really need to do my reports- my junior reports are due this Friday!! Luckily my senior reports aren't due for another week, its good to have them broken up. We are really looking forward to seeing you Marty in a few weeks, Lucy has been able to swap shifts so we are all coming. Our girls do love their uncle Marty! See you all soon,

love Annie
