Announcements

    * Congratulations, Selma Jaber, for being chosen by Dr. Mount to sing
the part of YOUTH for our performance of Elijah!
    * The job list will be passed around and singers can sign up for
whichever jobs aren't filled (marked with asterisks).  LISCA is all of us!

    * John Klein reminds us that there is also a CD available for $15
(besides the various sizes of prints of the whole chorus) of photos taken at the dress

interest.  Individual photos from the CD  can also be printed.

Keeping in Touch:

has returned to sing with us.


Congratulations!!

Our own Barbara Kullen (Tenor 1) will be honored as a distinguished alumni
of Manhattanville College in Purchase, this weekend.  The distinguished alumni award is given
by the alumni association of Manhattanville College.

Barbara ('63) was a corporate and securities lawyer over 35 years.  While
her for children, now grown, were young, Barbara worked part time for major firms in the
financial services sector.

She now, as a volunteer, is a remedial teacher to at-risk children at Little
Flower UFSD #13 in Wading River.  As an exciting side venture, Barbara is currently putting
together a small choir and music booklets for a reunion liturgy recalling the former Pius X School
of Liturgical Music at Manhattanville.

New Member:

Lydia Cottiers  knows some of our members here because she also sings in the
Moriches choir and works at Verizon in the Hamptons as a technician.  Lydia sang
with us last year at the New Village Church for the Messiah Sing.  She
lives in Medford with her husband and daughter, as well as 3 cocker
spaniels and two 20 year-old cats!  Welcome, Lydia!

[Caleb was on a business trip in Chicago this week for BNL (along with
Alejandro)]

Our Thoughts Are With:

On a personal note, my wife, Melissa (Bussewitz), who was brought to St.
Charles by ambulance earlier today.  She has stabilized and is being
kept overnight for observation.
