Cantico Singers - December 13

RS sisters, our own Lauren Mauery will be performing in a concert on December 13.  Here's is some information about the performance and the Cantico Singers:


Dear Friends,

Are you looking to add some music to your holiday celebrations this month? Come see Cantico Singers in our concert next Friday, December 13, at 7pm at First Congregational Church in downtown Portland. Use my discount code (LMAUERY) to get 20% off general admission tickets. After the discount, they're only $10, which is a steal of a deal for a night out with family, friends, or your honey. Rehearsals are sounding really, really good -- I even get to sing a solo! (Short one, but it counts.)

Hope to see you there,

Lauren Mauery

Friday, December 13th at 7:30 p.m.

Dear Cantico fan,

Our holiday concert, Let Us Be Merry, is coming up in just one week on Friday, December 13th at 7:30 p.m., so if you've been waiting to buy tickets, now is the time to claim your seats! This concert, kicking off our sixth anniversary season, will feature selections by Morten Lauridsen and Trond Kverno, as well as excerpts from Bach's Magnificat. And have you ever heard, "Deck the Halls" sung in 7/8 time? You won't want to miss this celebration of the season -- it's sure to have something for everyone!

Be sure to take advantage of Reserved Seating! Instead of having to be in line the instant the doors open to get good seats, you can select Reserved Seating and save your spot in the best part of the house. Tickets are available online here at our website. Don't miss your chance to ring in the season with our signature mix of choral and small ensemble numbers at our annual holiday musical celebration.

Sincerely,

Lauren Mauery

About Cántico Singers
Cántico Singers was formed in Portland, Oregon in 2008 by several musicians who were looking for a musical outlet that combined a high level of performance with a workable rehearsal schedule. Now in its sixth year, the ensemble is a 23-voice choir that features many former members of a variety of BYU choirs, including BYU Singers, Concert Choir, Men's Chorus, and Women's Chorus. The group is lead by Karen Porter, who earned her bachelor's (2000) and master's degrees (2002) in Piano Performance from Brigham Young University, where she sang in and was an accompanist for BYU Women's Chorus. Karen also studied choral conducting at the graduate level with Dr. Ronald Staheli. We sing a wide-ranging mix of repertoire including classical, jazz, Broadway and folk music. Drawing on the diverse musical backgrounds of its singers, in addition to choral repertoire, concerts highlight small groupings from the ensemble in a variety of styles--from jazz to acoustic folk rock.

LDS Family Services - small donations needed

Help Support LDSFS Single, Expectant Parent Support Group
The support group is in need of incentives to encourage and increase attendance. Once participants start coming, the more significant incentives are realized in the mutual support, education,  and guidance the group offers. The following can go a long way:

The agency already has some of the following, but we could use some more:
·        Personal or self-care items such as:
o   Hair care products like deep conditioning
o   Nail polish
o   Make-up
o   Lip balm
o   Scrub masks
Gift Cards are where we could use the most help. *LDS Family Services is not permitted by policy to purchase gift cards.
·        Gift cards to places like Subway, ice cream shops, and Starbucks (for hot chocolate and breakfast items, of course) where they can treat themselves. Please, no more than $5 or $10 per card. Please include the activation receipt as these cards can sometimes get wiped or corrupted.
·        Movie passes
·        Gas cards. Gas stations vary on the minimum dollar amount of an initial card. Some are as low as $5 and others are $10 and others are $25. Cards with a minimum amount or no more than $25 will suffice. Nearly all gas stations permit a recharging of a card to amounts as low as $5.  Please include the activation receipt as these cards can sometimes get wiped or corrupted.
We do not encourage a ward or stake to organize a large service project as such may generate more than is needed.

Donation may be given anonymously. We do not have the ability to offer receipts for tax purposes.

Donations can be sent by mail or delivered to this address during office hours 8 am to 5 pm, Monday thru Friday.

The Support Group is every third Thursday at 7:15 PM the LDS Family Services office 7080 SW Fir Loop, Tigard, OR 97223.

If you have questions, please call Joseph Daines at 503-620-1191 or Lisa Robertson at 503-932-0955.
