Good morning, Singers.  I hope this email finds you well and looking forward to our next rehearsal on March 2nd.  While it seems a long way off, there are many things to do between now and then.

Look for an email very soon about the "Be That Neighbor Challenge".  In this world where every news story seems to be tragic and incredibly negative, good things continue to happen every day.  We will be inviting you to share those small, every day good things.  More about that very soon.

If the cold is getting to you, JD will be at the Dakota tonight in Larry Long's American Roots Revue.  He is stepping in for Tonia Hughes and it will be an amazing evening.  Go to https://www.dakotacooks.com/event/american-roots-revue-2-2/

On February 4th, Fred and Jearlyn will be in concert at the Dakota.  You can find ticket information at https://www.dakotacooks.com/event/jearlyn-fred-steele-24/

On February 16-18, there will be an incredible presentation, called, "The Sound of Gospel" at the Gooddale Theater in the Cowles Center in downtown Minneapolis.  This is the second year of this stellar program, and with Jevetta Steele directing, you know it will be worth your time.  I went last year and left feeling empowered and joyful.

While we wait for the return of the Singers, continue to sing every day and find those moments of joy to keep you going through the winter.  We are stronger together and when we resume in March, we will be ready!

Thank you for all you do---Claudia
