Our club received the following
THANK YOU card from
Good Vibes Memory Choirs.
 
"Dear Members of the Cochrane Rotary Club,
 
We are so grateful for your support of the Good Vibes Memory Choirs. So much has happened since your generous gift to the choirs last fall:
1) We've become a non-profit (officially).
2) We have 2 choirs running at full capacity (40 singers at the community choir; 30 singers at Hawthorne assisted living.
3) Plans are afoot to begin a 3rd & possibly 4th memory choir here in Cochrane.
4) We've hired a Director of Community Engagemen who is a real dynamo!
5) We'll  be performing at the Cochrane Trade Show, the Cochrane Library Summer Series, and at the the Seniors' Week.
 
We'd love it if you'd join us on Saturday, May 10 at 3 pm for our Spring Gala Concert - Put a Little Love in your Heart.
 
With gratitude for your support! Erica Phare-Bergh & Team G.V. 
 
Thank-you for bringing so much joy to so many seniors!"
