For our first two sessions of Singing for Fun for June we had members away at the FCJ “Finding Our Voice” practices which included Kieran, one of our Leaders. Brian was also unavailable for those two weeks, so our thanks to Margaret and Carmyl for running those sessions.

In the third session for the month, we had Kieran and Brian back with us, so we enjoyed a full range of songs. Thank you Gwen for playing for all our sessions.

A big welcome to Elizabeth and Trudi who came on the third week to check us out, and were full of praise for our welcoming group. We hope to see both of you again in the future.

In the past month we have been asked to share our singing with both Cooinda and Estia. After consultation with Cooinda, we will be going there on 18th July at 10.30am to sing with them for an hour or so. Parking will be available near ‘the pond’ and entrance will be by the door at the rear of their community room which is near ‘the pond’. RAT test kits will be given out on 11th July. Please do a RAT test at home, and bring the RAT test with you to show Cooinda staff as you enter.

Singing at Estia in Thomas Street will be on Thursday 8th August at 10.30am. RAT tests will be given out on Thursday 1st August. Please do your RAT test at home and show your completed RAT test to Estia as you enter.

Singing for Fun members Kieran Smith, Rhonda Ward and Ray O’Shannessy are again participating in ‘Let’s Find Our Voice’, a project which brings community members together with students from FCJ College to form a community choir. The choir practises for eight weeks before performing a concert for everyone involved, ‘bringing joy and connection, and bridging the generations for all who participate’. We are looking forward to seeing Kieran, Ray and Rhonda in this year’s ‘Let’s Find Our Voice’ concert video!

The 'Let's Find our Voice' concert is being held at the FCJ College Marie Madeleine Centre, 52-54 Arundel Street at 7pm on Thursday 13th June.  Adults $10.
