TUESDAYS - BYTOWN VOICES COMMUNITY CHOIR

We will be learning some new music and maintaining our vocal chords in a relaxed environment, with plenty of musical and technological help. We will all be experiencing this new way of meeting and singing together and are happy to welcome new members, men and women, to join us. For more information, see our website at bytownvoices.com

WEDNESDAYS - SHOUT SISTER! CHOIR

There are 25 Chapters of Shout Sister! Choir in Ontario and we are constantly growing.  Shout Sister! takes an unorthodox approach to choral singing. We learn from recorded tracks, so we require no reading of music. Our method is fresh and fun, and we are a warm and welcoming community. Shout Sister! has created a unique, enjoyable choir experience while singing from the comfort of your own home. We use Zoom to meet virtually every Wednesday afternoon  (1-3 p.m.) and Thursday evening (7-9 p.m). Everyone is welcome. We would love to have you join us! For information on joining, please contact members@shoutsisterchoir.ca or visit shoutsisterchoir.ca. 

FRIDAYS - CHASE THE ACE RAFFLE

The not-for-profit Highland Park Lawn Bowling Club is raising funds to KEEP WESTBORO GREEN with a widely enjoyed game of chance, CHASE THE ACE. Tickets are available at four community locations: the Clocktower and Barley Mow pubs, Whispers and the lawn bowling clubhouse (439 Golden Ave. at Byron). The game rules are posted at all four sites. Tickets cost $5 for five and are sold in multiples of 5. A weekly draw will award 20 per cent of the week’s sales to the lucky ticket holder, 30 per cent will be added to the jackpot and 50 per cent will help the bowling club stay green. The jackpot increases weekly until the lucky winner draws the Ace Of Spades and is awarded its entire contents. The maximum jackpot allowed under this license is $30,000. At that point, a new raffle will commence. The current jackpot stands at $855.00 (Oct. 2) The weekly draw is held every Friday at 7 p.m. at the Clocktower (418 Richmond Rd.).
