Annual Ann Sleeva Memorial Cooper Book singing--Saturday, August 10, 2024

with potluck-style dinner on the grounds at Noon.

57th Street Meeting of Friends (Quaker House)

We will sing from the 2012 edition with books available to borrow or purchase. You are welcome to come and sing or listen or a little of both. Easy parking and public transportation, but the site is not wheelchair accessible. We will pass a hat to cover expenses. Local singers are requested to bring food to share.

COVID PROTOCOLS (With a nod to MN singers!)

Covid infection rates may be down, but singing is not a risk-free activity, especially for people with compromised immune systems. This is our plan, to allow you to evaluate your personal risk and choose whether to participate:

Use of face-masks will be optional.

Proof of vaccination will not be required.

Same-day Covid testing before the event is encouraged but not required.

We will allow extra space between chairs in the rows.

We will open windows and doors according to what is available at the venue and depending on the weather.

• As always, if you are not feeling well, have any symptoms that could indicate a Covid infection (sore throat, congestion, fever, body aches, diarrhea, etc.), have been exposed to a communicable illness, or have been in crowded public events in the five days before the singing, please stay home and take care of yourself so that you can come sing with us another day.

We look forward to singing with you!
