Last night, Sac Choral had its annual fundraising party. For $35, I supported an organization I sing for (and it is a tax write-off!), got some wine and appetizers, and free admission to the California Auto Museum in Sacramento.
It was a fun evening. I like my fellow singers, and it was fun to dress up, sip wine, and toddle around the museum in heels. Don announced next season--our 18th as an organization, my third singing in it. We will sing a lot of great pieces, including another Ralph Vaughn Williams piece (hooray!), Mendelssohn's
Lobegesang, and Orff's
Carmina Burana. I haven't sung these pieces--they're major choral repertoire--and I am super-excited. Don, when I told him I haven't sung them before, said, "You're in for quite a ride!" I responded with a big grin, "Bring it on!" The music will be difficult, but also exciting, gorgeous, and so exhilarating.
I took some Instagram pictures, and found some pics of me taken by Ronnie Johnson, our official photographer.

Doug, one of our board members (in the car shirt to my right), won the
quilt auction. He and his wife decided Don should have the quilt. Here, he's
called us all over so he could offer it to Don and Jim. |

Don, showing us the label Carol's friends sewed to the back of the quilt
in her memory (they finished the quilting for her, as she passed before
it was done). |

| Hugs all around! This organization is a family. |
