Sandy joined us for the first time tonight. We also had some special visitors, Emily and Brea. Rounding out the group were: Cathie, June, Karen, Ian, Linda, Judy, Deb, Zenith, Louise, Lana, Lorna, Heather and Lynn.

For next week we decided to work on Love Potion #9 and Winter Wonderland.

Here are the songs we played: Wagon Wheel, Cryin Time, Love Potion Number 9, Red Wing, Sentimental Journey‎, Walkin after Midnight, Unclouded Day, Mele Kalikimaka,Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Winter Wonderland, Deck the Halls, Jingle Bells, Christmas in Killarney, Silent Night (with chord melody only first, then chords and singing, and then chord melody for the final verse), We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Frere Jacques, Silver Wings and our signature ending song. 

We agreed we will play the Active Living Centre show starting about 7:15 on Thursday, Dec. 15 playing the main songs we have been practicing as well as some Christmas tunes, including some as a sing along with those in attendance. Since we have such a large group now we felt it would be unfair to accept the invitation to supper, however members can buy supper tickets on their own. We will meet before 7:00 (time to be announced) to tune up. We have also been asked to play a couple of songs at the Christmas Cheer concert.

We will meet next Wednesday on the second floor of the gallery. Hope to see you there!
