Seaside A Cappella Honoured by Province
Back in October we were tremendously honoured to be invited to Province House, the home of our Provincial government, by our Premier, the Hon. Tim Houston. This was as a send-off to our International Convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan. At that time we did a 25 minute performance on the beautiful, wide staircase at the interior entrance to Province House, which was received with a great deal of warmth and excitement. After lunch, 10 of us from the chorus were invited to attend the Assembly as special guests. At that time, our local MLA, Hon. Becky Druhan, introduced us with this Statement which is pictured below. Last week Becky visited us at our rehearsal to officially read the Statement to our members and present us with this beautiful official copy of it, in a leather bound folder. I especially love the closing paragraph - "Speaker, please join me in celebrating this incredible group of women, who unite and inspire each other through music and song. Seaside A Cappella is a found family of soul sisters who deliver joy, optimism, and harmony to our community and beyond." Following that October event Becky attended several rehearsals as well as ourAnnual show, and is definitely a 'wanna-be' member of our chorus. |

Seaside A Cappella Honours Linda Brehaut
Seaside A Cappella is very proud to have Linda Brehaut as an Honorary Member. A dual member with Valley Voices, Linda served as President and later as Past President of Seaside A Cappella since its inception. She was instrumental in laying the foundation and moving us through the gate to charter status in 2018. We first announced Linda's Honorary Membership at our 2020 AGM, however, we were not able to make a presentation at that time because of pandemic restrictions. However, on October 19, Music Director Judy Comeau and Past President Yvonne Rafuse were honoured to be able to meet with Linda in person to finally present her with a framed certificate. We were pleased that Deb Moreau of the Valley Voices accompanied Linda, as she too was a founding member of Seaside A Cappella.
