We were back again after our break. Evidently the thinking
was that Labor Day marked the end of summer, for the air conditioning was
turned off and I felt a little warm up there in my Sunday clothes.
The big advertising
campaign in the church bulletin one of our members put on over August
unfortunately has not yet
resulted in any additional members; in fact, our group is a bit smaller than
before, especially in the two male sections — in fact, we did not have a
tenor at all. I thought it was pretty difficult, at times, being the only one
to carry the baritone part. We're hoping that interest will peak up again
before we get close to the holidays, though.
