Several Singing for Fun members have been unwell...

2/11/2020

 
I have spoken with several Singing for Fun members and have heard about three members who have been on the sick list.

One of our leaders, Faith Hicks told me quite enthusiastically about her plane ride down to Essendon airport on route to the Royal Melbourne Hospital. Faith had a pacemaker inserted there, and returned to Benalla after a few days. Faith had lots of good things to say about the follow up from Benalla Health, and is now being monitored by the Wangaratta cardiology unit.

Another member of our group, Jean Dyer, also received excellent follow up by Benalla Health after her recent hip replacement at Wangaratta private hospital. Jean is happy with her mobility and has received several visits from her granddaughter Emily, who is nursing at Shepparton hospital.

Mary Dunnachie, who has been a member of the soprano team for many years, is also home after a fall which saw her in both Benalla Health and North East Health at Wangaratta. 
​
Our best wishes to all members of the Singing for Fun group.

    About 'Singing for Fun'

    The only criterion for joining this group is that you like singing.  You do not have to read music. 

    ​We have three or four Leaders who choose the songs, and a pianist who accompanies us on the piano. 

    We sing for fun and we find it a great sharing experience.
