Thank youDear Father Bill and Sacred Heart Family,

Thank you all so much for your hospitality and your generosity to us during and after our Sunday afternoon "Twelfth Day" concert.  We love making music, and seeing all your appreciative faces during our efforts makes our music all the more meaningful to us.

We always enjoy sharing this fellowship time with you, both during our concert and afterwards at the festive crock pot supper.  We hope to be able to keep this "Twelfth Day" tradition going for many years to come.

                                                                                                                  Sincerely,

                                                                                                                  All the SIngers of Voices Rising
