choir updates - PLEASE READ!
Hello fellow singers!
We are down to the final countdown before the big trip! I hope all of your individual plans are going smoothly. I wanted to give you some important reminders and updates for the next 10 days:
- Be at church this
Sunday.
The choir will be receiving a special blessing for the trip at this
Sunday s regular service. It s important that we have good choir
attendance!
- Our London Choir
WhatsApp channels are now live! One is for official choir communications
and the other is for group discussions. Check them out and get familiar
with their use before we leave and feel free to start your own chats!
- A few people have
been asking about travel insurance. Please share your experience
and tips for insurance in the WhatsApp channel and/or send them to Bob to
share on the website.
- Don t forget to vote early in the primary election! Here s
what to do if you live in Minneapolis.
- Plan to pack
your choir robe, shoes, and music in your carry-on luggage. We really,
really don t want any possibility of choir items getting lost.
- Bespoke St
Mark s choir luggage tags will be provided. They should be ready
Thursday, so if you are singing at the funeral on Friday or being blessed
on Sunday, you can grab yours then.
- We will gather at the North
West Crypt entrance at 1:45 on Monday August 10. We all have
to go in together, so please plan to come a few minutes early.
- Please review the Security
section
of the St. Paul's instruction document.
- Our private
tour of St. Paul's will be at 11am on Friday August 14th. If you told
me you wanted to go, you are registered. If you didn't tell me you wanted
to go, you are also registered. If you are bringing a guest, they are
registered, and I will get in touch with you separately.
- Finally, let's
celebrate our time together in London with a meet up at the Paternoster
Tavern after we finish our last service on Sunday, August 16. Nothing
formal, time TBD closer to the week's end.
Questions or concerns? Now is the time to ask you know where to find me. See you soon, everybody!
Thanks for reading!
