2) From Katy
a) That was a great start on Sunday! Welcome to our new members, and welcome back to our returning members! I hope that you all feel excited to sing together!
b) Last season I started sending a little information about each of our songs, so I'd like to continue that this season with "Love is Love is Love."
c) Abbie Betinis is a Minnesota-based composer who has a wide repertoire of choral music, and often weaves themes of social justice into her music. She is the co-editor of the Justice Choir Songbook, which is a resource for group singing at rallies, protests, and in community-building situations.
d) "Love is Love is Love" appears in the Justice Choir Songbook, and is dedicated "to the victims and survivors of hate crimes everywhere, and specifically for those at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016. Love is often the bravest thing we do. May love prevail." You can search for the Justice Choir on the internet to read more about the project, and download the full songbook (pay what you can).
3) Scent Free Environment
Please note this is a scent free environment; some folks have severe allergies.
