[EastValleyChoraleMaillist] Some reminders...

[Bruce Cochran]

Hello Chorale Friends,

 

Just a reminder to the male singers:  If you haven't gotten your new tie,
please get one. I'll have them at the concert Sunday. 

 

If you have not paid for your tie, we would appreciate your help with that.
(Regular length: $15 / Extra long: $20).  I ordered a total of 30 ties to be
sure we had a few spares, so I had to pay $485 up front.  

 

We've also had to pay for additional copies of the anthems, and all the
orchestrations, and we will have to pay the orchestra soon. 

--> Additional copies of all the missing anthems came today.hurray!  If you
need one, see me Sunday.or next Tuesday.

 

If you may have forgotten your September dues, we will still be happy to
receive them. If you cannot remember, Kathy can look it up for you :-)

 

 

If you're planning to sing Sunday but were unable to make practice, please
let me know as soon as you know.

 

Remember that next Tuesday we rehearse with the orchestra in the Worship
center at Crossroads.  Please be friendly with the orchestra members.  Your
smiles and friendliness makes a difference.

 

Recent New members:  

John Nelson (bass)

Elise  Kurbat (soprano, alto, pianist.)

of the night air,.take your vitamins.get lots of sleep

 

Thanks for sharing your talent with us all.  You folks are some awesome
friends.

 

Bruce

 

 

Some thoughts from Denis Waitley:

 

*         Don't make your problems the centerpiece of your conversation.
Talk positively about your life and the progress you're trying to make. Be
aware of any negative thinking, and take notice of how often you complain.
When you hear yourself criticize someone - and this includes self-criticism
- find a way to be helpful instead of critical.

*         Respond to difficult times or depressing moments by increasing
your level of productive activity. When your self-esteem is being
challenged, don't sit around and fall victim to "paralysis by analysis.' The
late Malcolm Forbes said, "Vehicles in motion use their generators to charge
their own batteries. Unless you happen to be a golf cart, you can't recharge
your battery when you're parked in the garage!' 

*         Choose to see mistakes and rejections as opportunities to learn.
View a failure as the conclusion of one performance, not the end of your
entire career. Own up to your shortcomings, but refuse to see yourself as a
failure. A failure may be something you have done - and it may even be
something you'll have to do again on the way to success - but a failure is
definitely not something you are.
