It’s been a long, long time since we’ve been able to get together and sing! To remedy that, we’re  having a repeat of our lunch-hour picnic to socialize, sing and get back together again. Join us at Settlers Park with a picnic lunch, a beverage and a lawn chair or blanket. Bring your Silver Chord music, preferably your choir binder from the Fall 2019 season. Stephanie will have her keyboard, of course, and Nigel will have his guitar, so there’ll be no shortage of tunes!

Settlers Park is where some of you have come to hear Collage (Stephanie’s group) practice on Wednesday evenings. It’s at 1250 Confederation Drive. See the map for directions. There’s lots of parking, but we’ll have carpooling set up from the Legion parking lot near the Gathering Place.
