            We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday, and has “digested” the festivities enough to be ready to enjoy another great Opera Guild meeting at Still Hopes on December 9th.

            We will gather in the Garden Room (Click HERE for directions) at 7:00 for our customary Happy Hour of good food that you, our members, are justly famous for providing and the wine that Opera Guild will provide. Then, at about 8:00, we will be entertained once again by Met Auditions winner Soprano Taylor Johnson with Chris Leysath,  a piano major at USC, at the piano. See their bios here.

            As usual, we expect a good turnout of Still Hopes residents, so let’s all bring some extra food to make sure we are able to accommodate those who may not be able to bring their own. Opera Guild is fortunate in being able to use this wonderful room for a meeting once a year, and the Still Hopes residents who attend always seem to enjoy it and are very appreciative. Hope to see everyone there!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Our 2011-2012  meeting schedule: February 10th and April 27th


            Please notice on the schedule below that we have increased our dues by $5. These dues have not been raised in the memory of any of the officers, and they may well be the same as they were when Opera Guild was founded back in about 1978. We regret the necessity for doing this, but we need a little more income to pay our ever-increasing operating expenses. We appreciate your understanding.
