Equality Choir! You've heard the
expression "sing for your supper." Now here's a chance to "sing for equality." A
local Lake County Choir is being formed in the Mount Dora/Tavares/Eustis area,
and no choral experience is necessary. Everyone who enjoys singing and is
committed to equality for all is welcome to participate. If you're interested in
participating, please e-mail mmngrace@msn.com or call
503-830-0180. A letter to our group from the Executive Director of Lake Cares: The reason I'm writing today is to thank The Traingle Connection for supporting our cause. I know that your membership has been donating canned goods on a monthly basis for a while now, and you deserve to be recognized for that. Please pass on my appreciation to all the fine people in your organization. Let them know that the recipients of their generosity are really thankful for what your members are doing. Lake Cares is fortunate to be staffed by more than 140 dedicated volunteers. And, because of actions taken by groups such as yours, we were able to provide much needed food in 2013 to 19,205 children and adults in 6,077 families. With your continued support, there's no doubt we will exceed those numbers this year. I urge you to keep up the spirit of giving. Needy people in Lake County depend on the goodness of kind-hearted individuals such as the folks in The Triangle Connection. You are making a difference. Once again, thank you very much for what you've accomplished thus far and for all your future efforts. Sincerely, Irene O'Malley Executive Director A message from Charly: Monday the eighteenth, we had another wonderful meet and greet at a new venue for us. O’Keefe’s with its outside seating was more than large enough for our members. Service was attentive and the food was good. Only down side was the set up of the booths inside made it hard to mingle. We would like to have feedback from our members on O’Keefe’s. Not hearing any negatives last night, it seems that this may become part of our regular rotation of gathering places. Let us know your thoughts.
