Good morning, Singers. We are so grateful that Ruby has been found and is with her family. For each and every one of you who held her in your heart as you helped search for her, endless thanks. It took a village and you all stepped up. You WERE that neighbor!

We are rehearsing this Saturday, October 14th, 2:00-3:30 on the 8th floor of the Guthrie. Our rehearsals have been so much fun and we hope you can join us. Remember, it's as simple as showing up. That's all you need to do, no auditions and no fees, just come.

Our next performance is on October 24th at the Capri Theater on 2027 West Broadway. JD has asked that we get there by 6:00, singing will begin at 7:00. If you have never been to a concert at the Capri, you are in for an amazing evening. It will be a full house, and the house will be rocking!

If you have friends and family that will be attending, please have them use this link to get a free ticket tot he event. Check out the Capri website and get details on how to order between 1 and 4 free tickets at https://thecapri.org/event/the-capri-glee-choir-in-concert/ This event is often a "sold out/rush line only" concert -- so order early. People can also search for the event and order tickets at eventbrite.com.
We expect it to be a full house and while the tickets are free, they will need a ticket.

Good morning, Yogis!

Summer is fleeting, so make sure that you join us for the last 2 hours of Yoga in the Park, sponsored by Be That Neighbor. We will be practicing together on August 26th and September 2nd at 9 am. Our instructors and groups have been phenomenal.

How do you participate? Come! Grab a mat, water, and a friend and join us in Gold Medal Park for the last 2 hurrahs of summer in the park.

See you there!

Good morning, Singers.

The 2022-23 season is finished, and it was a wonderful season. From Iphigenia to Apple Valley with the Capri and MacPhail Music Matters Luncheon in between, a good time was had by all.

It is now time to plan for the 2023-24 season. I can guarantee there are new songs to sing, new experiences to have, new laughs to share, and new friend to make. Hard to argue with any of that.

Please remember that all are welcome. There is never a fee, never an audition, and never any attendance expectations. Come when you can and share you voice and your joy!

Thank you to the Guthrie for hosting us again. We are incredibly grateful for their generosity and partnership. They make everything so much better.

Here is the schedule. Please remember that changes can and will happen, but this represents our best 'guess' right now as to what the schedule will be.

You will get twice weekly emails to keep you up to date. I also post on the Be That Neighbor Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/BeThatNeighbor) and on our website at https://www.bethatneighbor.org/.

I miss you already!!

Claudia
