Chorus board donates to two groups

SEQUIM — The Sequim Community Christmas Chorus board recently recognized Sequim Community Aid and Shipley Center for their work.

The board made donations to the two groups from funds raised from performances held in December.

A donation of $300 was made to Shipley Center to assist low-income seniors with membership dues and a donation of $700 to Sequim Community Aid. This is in addition to direct donations of $95 collected at the performances.

The chorus is currently accepting singers of all levels of experience. There are no fees or auditions.

Additional information will be announced in late August when singer registration opens. Rehearsals begin in September.

The chorus sings only sacred music but has no religious affiliation and is presented in cooperation with the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.
