We want to encourage all members to attend to support our youth and school choir program this is for seniors only and  very special .  If you are going to attend the concert/lunch please let me know by return mail so that we can give them some kind of headcount for food. The kids prepare and join us for lunch and many interesting conversations in past.
Those that have attended in the past have totally enjoyed the concert and visiting with the kids, some of whom have no grandparents, so it is also special to them.
