With Much Appreciation

The Tuesday Noon Concert Series Committee appreciates the wonderful musicians sang and played for their lunch this summer.  Today marked the 13th concert of the 13th season for the series, a series which would not be possible without the churches who contribute the venue, the musicians who donate their time and talent, and the committee members who facilitate this wonderful series. 

Serving on the 2014-15 Committee were Irene Eckert, Lenora Evans, Anita Firman, Kathy Goodwin, Eileen Grosland, Karen Karls, Louise KoglinFideldy, Carol Morrill, Cathy Shields, and Cherry Tinquist.  By the end of September, these friends will have sifted through an extensive list of recommended musicians and begun to inquire into their interest in "serving" up their music next summer.  In January the participating churches will have been contacted to ascertain their available dates, and musicians will have asked to indicated the dates on which they can not perform. 

In a really good year, the Committee will be able to set the season at this point.  But life does happen and circumstances change, so right up until the performance date, the Committee stands by to bring Grand audiences the best entertainment available.  This year the talents of the Committee were tested and they stepped up.  Six Committee members and eight of their friends delivered a 45-minute, unrehearsed concert enjoyed by all.

That was August 8th and at the end of the concert, Molli Ophoven texted her thanks and the Family's request to deliver the delightful concert they had prepared next year.  Life permitting you can expect to see all the Ophovens in a 2016 concert. 

So until we meet again, the Committee thanks each and everyone of you, wishes only the best for you and your families, and looks forward to meeting you through music each Tuesday during the summer of 2016.
