On Thursday, January 12^th our annual meeting will take place and as is customary it will be preceded at 6:30 by our annual Founders’ Day Dinner.  Please bring a dish to pass and your own table service (plate, silverware).  Note that the kitchen will not be available for us, so bring dishes ready to serve.

After dinner we will have the election and installation of officers for 2012 by our own Ann Gibson, and then a night of entertainment provided by the Roger Wells Barbershop Quartet.

Roger was a lead singer in high school chorus and school plays and has also sung solos in various church events including weddings.  His forte is barbershop close harmony music, and he organized a barbershop quartet 15 to 20 years ago.  Blessed with superb voice quality, Roger exemplifies excellence in choral music harmony.  His dedication and style have enabled him to retain like minded musicians which results in a rich style of music that is pleasing to the ear.  Audience participation is a part of his group's repertoire as is music with a story.  Performing 10 to 15 times a year, the quartet enjoys entertaining and audience reaction to its music.

Finally, I would like to personally thank Carl Blanchard, Pam Dooling, Ann Gibson, Joe Gibson, Angela Glickstein, Bruce Holley, Matt Kolis, Dan Magaro, Whitney Mills, Pat Pohl, Murial Prianti, Dave Rink, Greg Sohrweide, Dave Stever, Dorothy Storms, Lillian Walsh, and Dottie White.  These are the people who agreed at least once but in many cases multiple times to be part or all of a program over the last two years.  I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your contribution to making us all better Rosarians.

See you on January 12^th!

Whitney Mills (Program Chair)
