Announcements
ACC this Sunday. As per last week’s announcement, all available members will be meeting this Sunday, November 28 at the Arlington Community Church at 9:30 am. We will run through the music (number 6 of the Rachmaninoff), then will sing fairly early in the church service, which starts at 10 am. Chorus members can leave right after singing, or can stick around till the end of the service to chat with the congregation. This is a nice way to let church members know about the concert we’ll be doing there on Friday, December 10. The Church is at 52 Arlington Avenue on the west side of the street, across from the library. There is a large parking lot across the street from the church.
