Hello everyone, and Happy Halloween! Many thanks to the Froud family and Tatiana Promessi for our rehearsal snacks this last week.
1. CONGRATS TO THE NEW PARENTS!
Sonja and Olin Palmer are the proud parents of a new baby girl! Lena Neila Winsome Palmer was born on Friday, October 27th at 8:07 am, weighing in at 8 lbs, 7 oz., and 19.5” long. Sonja, Olin, and baby Lena are all doing very well. Flowers have been sent to their room on behalf of all of us at Cantabile.
2. VELJO TORMIS WORKSHOP
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH
GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
3149 WAVERLY ST
PALO ALTO, CA 94306
• Call: 10:30, warm up in Brown Hall
• Piedmont Choir clinic with Tormis, 11:00-11:45 (Cantabile observes)
• Cantabile Vocalise/Ensemble Choir clinic with Tormis, 12:00-12:45
• Lunch on our own (bag lunch) 12:45-2:00
• Combined concert 2:30-3:15
• Dismissal 3:15
Attire: As this is a casual workshop, we are asking our singers to wear their Cantabile T-shirts, nice plain blue jeans, and tennis shoes. (please make sure that your jeans don’t have rips in them, or designs. Think plain) This is similar to what the Piedmont Choirs will be performing in. Elena will elaborate more in rehearsal this week about performance attire.
FOR NEW FAMILIES:
T-shirts for new members are going to be ready this week. I will be distributing these at rehearsal this Wednesday. If you are going to be absent, you will need to make other arrangements to pick up your shirt before Saturday’s workshop. Thanks!
Directions to Grace Lutheran Church: From 101 north or south, exit at Embarcadero/Oregon Expressway. Stay on Oregon Expressway, heading west towards El Camino. Turn left onto Waverly. The church will be on the left side of the street. The parking lot is small, so you may need to find additional street parking.
3. ITEMS LEFT AT REHEARSAL
There have been several items left, including a plastic serving bowl, a blue/green fleece jacket, and some really nice mechanical pencils! These items and many others have been put in the lost and found box upstairs in the left hand side of our cabinet at the church. Please remind your singers to take their belongings with them – thanks!
4. UNIFORM UPDATE
If you are new and missed last week’s rehearsal with Ensemble, please make sure to pick up your black pants and top from me this week. The pants are long and need shortening – please allow adequate time for alterations.
5. A request from Barbara, our Board President:

5. A request from Barbara, our Board President:
- Volunteer opportunities:
- Do you have grant writing experience? We would love your help with a couple of upcoming proposals.
- We are looking for a new rehearsal venue that’s centrally located and which will allow for more rehearsal space and room to grow. Let us know if you have ideas or can help with the search!
- We need help putting together our fall fund campaign letters the first week of November at our Cantabile office. Times are flexible, so if you are available, please contact Karen@cantabile.org. Many thanks!
- School outreach: We have offers to post audition flyers in the following schools: St. Simon, Presentation HS, Oak Grove District. Barbara Windham is assisting with an outreach project for the Menlo/Atherton schools: Encinal, Oak Knoll, and Hillview MS
- If you are able to distribute flyers to any other schools, please let Karen know. Posters are available on the table at rehearsal.
- We need one parent to cover business areas such as malls and libraries.
