Well, October has certainly been a different month for Singing for Fun. The first Thursday was just after the floods, and we had to cancel Singing for Fun as the flood barriers for the Hub at Cooinda were still down on Wednesday night.
The second Thursday we had Carmyl and Brian Colman as Kieran, Brian and Margaret were all unavailable. It is marvellous how resilient we are. Carmyl always seems to have a list of songs organised for us, and Brian Colman has a book of previously used songs which he could call on.
So, the third Thursday we were back to normal. Slowly we are putting together the songs for our concerts which are fast coming around. Our thanks to Gwen for not only her accompaniment, but also for her suggestions about some of the songs for the concerts.
We are singing for the Meet and Mingle concert on Wednesday 15th November at 10am in the Auditorium at the Seniors Centre. That will be a fun morning.
Then on Thursday 7th December we are going to Cooinda with our concert songs, plus some Christmas carols. That is going to be repeated at Estia Health (in Thomas Street) on Thursday 14th December, followed by our break up Christmas lunch at the Golf Club.
We have also been invited to sing at a Remembrance Gathering in the Benalla Health grounds near the Mary Tracy Fountain at 5pm on Thursday 7th December.
Thank you to all Singing for Fun members for participating in these concerts and the Remembrance gathering.
