A MESSAGE TO OUR FRIENDS
November 24, 2020
Over the past few months, like many of you, we have struggled to find our way during this unusual time. While we continue to rehearse virtually, we miss, terribly, the experiences that can only be found through live performances. However, our music is still very much alive, and we are excited to share with you our very first virtual choir performance!
On Giving Tuesday, December 1, Central Oregon Mastersingers will send out via email, our virtual performance of “Like a River in My Soul,” a stunning arrangement of the familiar African American Spiritual, "Peace Like a River."
We are THRILLED to collaborate on this endeavor with Family Kitchen — you'll see wonderful images of this organization in the virtual choir video next week! The mission of Family Kitchen is to serve anyone who needs a nutritious meal in a safe and caring environment. Together, we seek to nourish both body and soul through food and music.
Look for our next email on Tuesday, December 1, which will include a donation link to support Central Oregon Mastersingers and Family Kitchen in one transaction. We appreciate ANY tax-deductible gift during this time of additional need for so many. Thank you for considering this project when you plan your Giving Tuesday donations.
Warm wishes,
Gina Rosbrook
Board President, Central Oregon Mastersingers

Artistic Director and Conductor, Central Oregon Mastersingers

FAMILY KITCHEN was founded in 1986 by four women from Trinity Episcopal Church who felt the need to reach out to the community after the local mill shut down. They were concerned that, with the lack of local work, there would emerge a need for free meals. They were right.
Today, Family Kitchen serves three dinners and five lunches each week.
They provide soup for two low-income senior housing complexes, as well as a teen drop-in program. With our partners at Central Oregon Veterans Outreach (COVO), they provide 90 sack lunches for delivery to those living in camps.

CENTRAL OREGON MASTERSINGERS thanks you for your ongoing and generous support. Your donations make it possible to sustain our mission of bringing high quality choral music to Central Oregon. The magic of choral music enhances the lives of both the singers and the audience.
We appreciate the opportunity to join with you in this spirit of giving to all those who call Central Oregon home.
