Greetings all!
Hugh and I spent the weekend in DC, visiting family, friends, museums, and All Souls Unitarian Church, which has a great choir. (And Hugh was attending a law conference, too.)
I heard great things about the Peace Concert on Sunday. Many thanks to everyone who participated with the combined Lemington / Community Singers, and especially to Rev Deryck and Lee for leading the group.
