10 | OHCC LIVING | JUNE 2019 | Choral Society The Choral Society will be taking a well-deserved break for the summer. We hope you enjoyed the concert and had a few laughs as well. It was a fun concert for all of our members and they practiced long and hard. We especially thank our very talented pianist because without her we would not have had a concert! We loved that the chairs in the hall were filled once again and we thank you so much for spending your Sunday afternoon with us. You all are so complementary and we hope we gave you some smiles, memories and a few laughs! Where else can we have so much fun singing, performing and "dancing" than in Ocean Hills Country Club! We especially want to thank the Recreation staff for their support. They provide our set-ups, get us our rooms and times, help us at the front desk with whatever we are asking for and the list goes on and on. Ocean Hills Country Club Social Clubs and all the other specialty groups could not begin to do much of anything without their support. We always want to thank them with a smile⦠every day! The Audio Visual Department goes above and beyond for our concerts and we would not have a concert without them! We are so fortunate to have them and to have them support the two Choral Society concerts. Are we perfect and professional? We know the answer to that question, but the most important question is do we have fun and are we entertaining? Our Chorale is and has always been about having fun while singing. We really like to put smiles on your faces as well. From your written cards, emails and just talking to our members, we know you enjoy our concerts also. Just ask any Chorale member if the Ocean Hills Choral Society has fun while practicing! I am sure you will get a big "oh yeah." Having fun is a requirement! Thank you to all of our patrons who so faithfully support that and us helps so much with purchasing music. It is very much appreciated. Our director, Donna Russell has "retired" from the Chorale. She has been a member for almost 10 years and the director for the past 16 concerts. The Chorale is now looking for a new director and we know that with 2000+ residents in Ocean Hills, there are several of you who have directed a choir in your past life and we really would like you to "step up to the plate" and direct this august group. We promise that you will have fun. If you are interested, please call Debbie VanOurkerk (President of the Choral Society) at (760) 295- 0167, email her at debsey@aol.com, or put your name and phone number in the Choral Society file at the front desk and Debbie will get in touch with you. We will begin practicing once again for our December Concert in September and please join us if you enjoy singing and having fun! Hope to see you in September and have a great summer!
