SPECIAL NOTES!!!!
GHC CONCERTS - THE BOTTOM LINE…. As well as having 2 great concerts with our Guest Ann Mortifee and hearing so much positive feed-back from the audience and choir members alike…the additional good news is - the choir members donated over of $8,00O for SCHOLARSHIPS and although there are still some items to add (mail-in donations from the audience) so I won’t know the final number for a week or two yet – but the concerts raised a combined total of over $28.000. This will make a big difference to our friends in Mozambique. Well done everyone, with thanks to everyone who put up posters, sold tickets, spread the word of mouth, handed out the concert detail slips and of course, sang in the concerts. ~ Gloria

ADMIN TEAM NOTES SHIVON My heart is still on fire from the experience of all singing together in the beautiful Alix Golden Hall last weekend. I continue to hear from our guests (over 1200!!), and from Ann Mortifee and her band, how blown away they were by your performance. Ten years ago, Desmond Tutu wrote to us about the meaning of Ubuntu: Â “I am because you are. I need you to be you so that I can me. A choir is a choir only because its different parts work together harmoniously. Yes, a person truly is a person only through other persons. God bless you in your noble endeavour.”• Last Friday and Saturday nights, approx. 200 of us stepped outside of our individual “me” personas, into one giant “we” - and sang in a way that was a perfect expression of Ubuntu. I was so proud of you all, and of what we have achieved together. Today (Tuesday) at noon, at High Noon Choir, we’ll be having our singing-open-house wrap up for the season, and then I will be turning my attention to all the last minute details before I leave for Mozambique on Sunday. I will carry you all in my heart as I travel there, and spend a month with Perpetua and her crew, and taking in all the great work that you have been supporting over the past 5 years since my last visit. Thank you so much for all you do to nurture Ubuntu spirit in our choir community. I look forward to singing with you again in the Fall.
~ Shivon

DENIS Well, wasn't that an amazing weekend of music! I am still a bit high, and a bit exhausted, from the rush of performing to two full houses of very enthusiastic audiences. Thank you so very much, everyone, for all of your dedication, spirit, and most of all your hearts and voices, for helping to make these concerts the best that they could reasonably have been expected to be. The magic on-stage was palpable, and when we sang with Ann, what a gift! Now, I want to wish everyone a wonderful summer full of family, good friends, warmth, and joy. I'll see you all in September ~ Denis
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** GLORIA It’s been such a pleasure to sing and work with you all this past session. I’ll be looking forward to the fall session and to see what new and wonderful surprises Shivon and Denis will have for us i.e. guest artist, repertoire etc. etc. And for all you High Noon Choir singers - see you all in the fall. Have a great summer everyone.
~ Gloria

Well folks it will be 95 days for the GHC and 101days for the HNC until their Fall seasons start. Will we survive the harmonic drought? Tune in on Sept. 19 and/or 27th to find out for sure. In the meantime have a great summer and sing whenever, wherever, however and with whoever you can! Hopefully I will see some of you at the “Eyes on Talent” Fun-d raising variety show that former GHC Alto Junie Swadron is organizing for June 26
th at 7pm in the Church of Truth.

The treatment is very costly and there is no coverage. After a lot of convincing by some friends of mine, I agreed to begin a gofundme campaign. It is very difficult to reach out and ask for help in this way. However, if after reading my story, you feel called to contribute any amount at all, I couldn't thank you enough. You can read the details here: https://www.gofundme.com/junieswadron If you have any questions and would like to get in touch with me, here is my contact information: [email protected] or 250-813-0183, Submitted by Junie Swadron Former GHC Monday Alto

The bottle depot at Glanford, Queens and Quadra have given us the months of June and July as their chosen charity. If you have bottles and would like to donate please drop them off to one of the three locations, no sorting or cleaning required. Either post them into the charity bins or take them into the depot and let them know it is for the ALS Cycle of Hope.
The Cycle of Hope team has raised over $200,000 over the last four years for ALS. We are in our 5th year and need to raise at least $25,000 to sponsor a research student to find a cause and a cure for ALS. We are also committed to raise money for the Lemonaid Fund which raises money for children whose parents are living with, or have died from ALS. Thank you Submitted by Laura Cook GHC Monday Soprano
