HISTORY BOOK CONTEST: Jody Allen, our Region 13 Historian, is once again gearing up for the History Book Contest and Display. This event gives chorus historians a chance to show off all their hard work throughout the year in the form of their chorus scrapbook.

Some scrapbooks are submitted for the contest and some are submitted for display only. Either way, it is a lot of fun and everyone enjoys stopping by the table to look at the books. There will be a People's Choice Award as well, which allows visitors to the table to take part in the contest. And you never know...there might be a twist or a surprise or two!

If your chorus hasn't heard from her, drop Jody a line at jotenor@hotmail.com. And feel free to contact her with questions.

FORMS: So, is the jury still out?!? You can get more information and register for this wonderful workshop by checking out the documents below.
