Heather - stunning in the 2009 HH4H t-shirt

We had at least 60 people show up last night to practice singing for Heather for the HH4H.  Oh my what fun we had.  Some of us hadn’t sung in a choir for some decades, some sing daily and some have never sung. 

Lynn bravely led us through the songs, even handing out the odd sheet music or lyric.  The rest we are on our own for!  Heather seemed to be enjoying the noise – but we know she’s a good sport.

Special thanks to Glen Morris Church for allowing us to use their building, to everyone for coming out.  And a great big thank you to everyone for putting up with my ‘singing’.  Those of you around me know who you are.

A quick reminder tha twe are singing tonight at 7:00 PM in Glen Morris at the Church.  Bring your smiles and your voices.

Karen M-H and Aunt Connie were on Rogers Community TV – Cable 20 yesterday and today doing a great segment on the Hootenanny and on Heather.  What great ambassadors they are!

Thanks ladies, and thanks to Rogers TV for helping us spread the word.

Heather, Aunt Connie and Uncle Dave took another road trip this week.  The road trips are often wonderful opportunities for awareness raising and fun.

This week they went to Peter Etril Snyder Gallery in Waterloo.  After typing with Peter at length, he kindly agreed to come to the Hootenanny!

Peter will be at the Hoot from 2pm to 4pm sketching and doodling.  By all accounts he is a humourous and kind man.  I can’t wait to meet him.

If you are in Waterloo drop in and visit his studio.  He has 1700 paintings featuring Mennonite life, florals and landscapes.  They are beautiful glimpses of life around the Region of Waterloo.
