From Carl:

Please stop by the table tonight and pay your registration fees for Rochester.  We need to get the money to Del Ryberg by next week.  Also, remember to sign up for the Patriots performance and the Hopkins performance.  This chorus, the Commodores, is the chorus that built barbershopping in Minnesota.  Let's continue to do that.
Thanks,
Carl

From Doc:

Chord-Inator deadline is Thursday, September 24.  How about helping me put out another issue like the last two?

The Commodores have scheduled a sing out at my church, St. Joseph Parish, in Hopkins on Saturday, September 19, at the 4:30 p.m. mass.  We will be singing BATTLE HYMN, I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY and IRISH BLESSING.  However, we are limited to a 30-man chorus, the maximum number the choir loft can accommodate.  This is part of the St. Joseph Fall Festival celebration of which I am chairman.  Please sign up at the side table and please practice the three numbers a few minutes each day at home.  All details will be in next week's Swipe.  I know the Commodores won't let me down.
Thanks,
Doc
