A little note...
I want to thank you all for the constant effort you make just to show up at rehearsals and services and whatever other crazy things are dreamed up!  It's a pleasure getting to make music with you.  I love the rehearsal process, and I'm grateful for every minute you contribute.  I know how hard it is to carve time out of your hectic schedules, and I just wanted you to know how very much it means to me. 
~Carla

THANK YOU!!!

I appreciate all the extra musical efforts that were made last weekend!  The building consecration at Sts. Mary & Martha was a blessing to get to be a part of.  (Their choir has started calling Josh and me "Lucy and Ethel."  Okay with me...but I'm wondering just who is which?) 

The Valentine's Dinner was so very nice!  All efforts were needed and appreciated.  BIG FATS THANKS go out to:  Organizer Nancy; Wedding Vow Renewer Fr. Bill; Chef Rich and his Huckleberry Dave; Servers Matt, Emily, Erin, Maryann, Tripp; Table Hosts Jen, Jean, Nancy, Dan, Beth; Bartenders Lindsay and Josh; Hostess Lee-Anne; and countless clean-up efforts from a host of people (including Fr. Bill and Beth and Dave Holmes who finished up the gargantuan task on the following morning).  The food was AMAZING, and the company was SUBLIME.
