Hi everyone! What a fantastic first night back together last Tuesday, in our new home at the Uniting Parish Church hall in Weka Road, Raumati. I'll try not to send an email every week to you, but we have some updates about the movie night, and singing at the Kaibosh opening, so read on for the details... See you next week!
KAIBOSH OPENING
Kaibosh Food Rescue are opening a new branch in Kāpiti, and have invited us to sing at their launch event. They're based at Kāpiti Impact Hub, 6 Tongariro Street, Paraparaumu. We've just heard that this is going to be a little earlier than planned, on
Tuesday 10th March 5.30pm
We won't sing until 6pm, but it will be great if you can be there by 5.45. After our sing we'll head on over to Raumati for choir practise, so it won't interfere with our usual activities. There will be spare seats in cars, for sure!
We have secured the opening night screening of a movie from British director Peter Cattaneo (The Full Monty). Here’s the plot (taken from Rotten Tomatoes) Thrown together by life on a military base while their partners serve on a tour of duty in Afghanistan, a group of ordinary women find an unexpected way to raise their spirits and combat the isolating realities of being an army wife - by forming the first ever Military Wives' Choir.
Tickets will be on sale soon at choir practise.
EVENTS CALENDAR
We're planning a varied calendar of special events for the choir in 2020, a mixture of social and performing activities. You don't have to participate in everything, and we know that for some people our weekly singing together is enough in itself. We will continue to ensure that our Tuesday evenings are a complete singing experience, regardless of whether you intend to perform at these events.
Tuesday 10th March 5.45pm - we've been invited to sing 3-4 songs at the opening of Kaibosh Kāpiti Food Rescue. Kāpiti Impact Hub, 6 Tongariro Street, Paraparaumu.
Tuesday 12th March 6.30pm - Shoreline Cinema, Waikanae. Movie night out for singers, family & friends. Tickets on sale at choir practise.
we'll be guest choir at the Gale Force Gospel concert in Wellington, performing a set of songs by ourselves and then some with GFG too.27th June (evening) -
*** If you hear of any local events that the choir could participate in, let a committee member know - we're keen to sing out in the community a bit more this year ***
PAY YOUR TERM FEES ONLINE
Its really helpful to those on the 'welcome table' if regular members can pay their subs online, especially at the beginning of the year when we're expecting to be welcoming new and returning singers too. We started doing this for the last term of 2019, and it was very successful - reducing the work for those 'on the door' on Tuesday evenings, and really showed your commitment to our developing community.
With our new system of paying subs, a term costs $50, or you can pay the 'casual rate' of $7 per night (cash on the door). You can decide at any point to pay online for the rest of the term and it will work out cheaper - just ask Marj or Kimra at the welcome table on a Tuesday.
A reminder also that for new people, their first night is free! So this is a good time to bring a friend along to give it a try. They just sign up at practise & we'll have their name badge ready the following week. They can pay casual rate from then on, or do an online payment for the remainder of the term - welcome table will have all the info.
