— from Lynn Baker —

The Orcas Choral Society kicks off its fall season 5 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 6, with a family picnic on the Orcas Center lawn. It’s a potluck, of course. We’ll have barbeques going for your meat of choice.

Interim director Marianne Lewis will give us a preview of the music for our winter concert. All members and potential members are cordially invited. Rehearsals start 7 p.m. the following week, Tuesday, Sept. 13. The first rehearsal is open so you can come and try us out.

For more information, see the choral society on Facebook or at https://www.orcaschoralsociety.org/. Or call Faith Heath at 376-4527 or faithnjohn@gmail.com or Cynthia Abolin at 376-4355 or orcasmezzo@gmail.com.
