2. Carol's Korner

• It was great listening to you all sing with and for each other at the Memorial Day gathering! I really enjoyed hearing you lead yourselves and guide the direction of the songs. I would love to hear you sing with that conviction and attention to each other when I'm waving my arms around in front of you! Let's do that on Monday night for the folks at Searstone.
