Dear Singing Friends, I’m a member of the East Bay Threshold Choir. Threshold Choirs are women’s choirs that sing at bedsides for people challenged with living and dying. Tonite, Sunday July 19, the Threshold Choir and founder Kate Munger will be sharing an “Evening of Community Singing” at the Shoreline Park (right next to HS Lordship’s Restaurant Parking Lot) - 199 Seawall Dr. in the Berkeley Marina. It is a benefit for a choir member who’s going through a hard time. We’ll start singing at 6 and end at sunset at around 8:30 pm. Spread the word… Donations encouraged. Bring a situpon, warm layers and water. For more info, contact kate@thresholdchoir.org Rhea
