New Hope-Solebury & Lambertville Community Choir is Recruiting Singers - January 6 - January 31
Following a little time off after a busy first half of their musical season, the New Hope - Solebury & Lambertville Community Choir resumes rehearsals on January 6, 2015, pointed toward performances in the spring and a concert in Carversville on June 7. The choir is looking to expand the membership, and invites singers and would-be singers of all shapes,
sizes, voice parts and varieties to join the group. NHS&LCC is made up of members of the immediate New Hope-Solebury and Lambertville community as well as several singing residents of the surrounding area. There is no audition to join - all are welcome. In only its third season, NHS&LCC performances have included appearances at the New Hope Christmas tree lighting ceremonies, Chanukah on the Delaware, the First Federal Bank, the New Hope-Solebury Free Library, the Logan Inn, several area retirement communities and senior centers, as well as regular concerts. The New Hope - Solebury Community Choir is under the direction of Episcopal minister of music, instructor, and New Hope resident Rick Rosen. Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings at Carversville Christian Church. "We truly are a community choir, made up of a wide variety of people and personalities, with a wide variety of musical skill sets," notes Rosen. "So, the idea is to sing an equally wide variety of music, to match the music to our abilities while still challenging ourselves, and to then end up with quality music and a truly fun, enjoyable and rewarding experience for everyone." For additional information about New Hope-Solebury & Lambertville Community Choir, or for information about joining the group, contact NHS&LCC at 650.219.2748, or www.nhslchoir.org

Newtown Township Snow Angels are Needed! - Last winter's record snowfall left many elderly and those with physical disabilities trapped in their homes, isolated and afraid that ambulances and vital emergency services would be delayed in reaching them. The solution was the creation of the Newtown Township Snow Angels, a free program designed to help elderly or infirm Newtown Township residents clear snow from their driveways and sidewalks during winter storms. The Newtown Township Snow Angels relies on neighbors helping neighbors. Newtown Township wants to link volunteers with residents' age 60 or older or with a physical disability. To be considered for this free service they must reside in Newtown Township without a household member able to shovel snow living in the residence and lack snow removal resources. This volunteer opportunity is open to anyone living in Newtown Township and is great for families and high school students. Volunteers are asked to help at least one resident for the entire 2014 - 2015 winter.To register as a volunteer with the Newtown Township Snow Angels program and ensure that township elderly and disabled are cared for this winter, please contact Newtown Township, Parks and Recreation Director, Kathy Pawlenko at 215- 968-2800 ext. 272 or email kathyp@twp.newtown.pa.us
