Hello GYS families,

I apologize that this memo is reaching you much later than usual.  It is a very busy time for our conductors and myself!  There is a lot of important information to share this week:
  • No regular rehearsals this week!  Module 2 has come to an end and we are taking a break from rehearsals this week for Choirs I, II, III, and SATB.        MTA, stayed tuned for updates from Markus - there may be some extra/alternate rehearsal time for you.
  • If you have not registered for Module 3: The Poet's Laugh, please email me and I'll prepare an invoice for you.  I will be reaching out individually if I have not heard from you yet.
  • Our exciting Paint pARTy Fundraiser is fast approaching!  We'll soon have the custom design for our painting project ready to share with you in a separate email.  Virtual Paint pARTy Poster  Click this link to purchase tickets: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/guelph-youth-singers/events/virtual-painting-party-with-rae-wright-artistry
  • We need to hear from you by March 21 if you would like to order a Supply Kit for the Paint pARTy.
  • The GYMC needs our help!  Please join their exciting fundraising campaign: GYMC Launches Matching Donation Challenge
  • And finally, GYS will be holding our Annual Online Auction from May 21 to June 4 and we need your help!  This is a huge undertaking for one or two people, but if we all pitch in and help to secure a few donations, this could be a very successful fundraiser!  Please start thinking of people and businesses you could approach.  We'll have an official request letter ready to share very soon.
I hope you all have a wonderful week,
Heather Fleming
Choir Coordinator
