THANKS, ANNEMARIE
In Kathleen’s absence last week, Annemarie led a ukulele sing-along. Thanks, Annemarie! Kathleen is back again this week after successful performances of “Hairspray” in Moonee Ponds.

LOCATION
This week (again) we’ll be in the Bar Council Chamber on the First Floor, ODCE. Look for signs. Next week we should be back in the Neil McPhee Room.

CHOIR FUND RAISING: LEMON CORDIAL – ORDER BEFORE 15/8
Heather Gordon and Laura Colla made some lemon cordial concentrate as a fund raiser for choir, which sold out right away! If you have finished yours, please return empty bottles to Foley’s reception for recycling. If you would like to order a bottle at $15 each, email lauracolla@vicbar.com.au before 15 August.

MUSIC
If you have ideas for songs you’d like to sing, please let Kathleen know (bearing in mind we’re not using a piano in the current meeting space).

This week, Kathleen is bringing a new set of music to try, including some fun rounds/canons which sound great in two or three parts.

We have also started learning Akanamandla, an exuberant song from Africa:
