Our Palm Creek Chorus was out in force yesterday when they delivered singing valentines to special friends and neighbors as part of their Cancer Awareness Contribution. Very creative and FUN idea! Thank you and congratulations to all.
I wrote to Betty Preston Steel to get some details. Here's her report:
We (Chorus) wanted to contribute to the Palm Creek cancer awareness weekend, so we sold Singing Valentines. For $10.00 each, a “singing team” of chorus members visited recipient between 3:30 and 5:00 Wednesday, February 13, with several songs, Valentine sweets and a card. Some senders/buyers of the Valentines chose to include their names and some remained “Secret Valentine Friends.” The idea was that our deliveries would be not only to spouses or Special Ones but also to friends, neighbors, someone who the sender wanted to do a favor for, or just send a singing “hug”. This year four teams of singers delivered 17 Valentines; recipients included the Activities Office, Guest Services and GM Kevin Flynn, some were to spouses and quite a few were to neighbors and friends. We are hoping next year that our residents consider this is a great way to support the cancer awareness cause and at the same time deliver fun, and a “thank you”, “I care” or “I love you” to anyone in the park. This year Chorus donated $170.00 to the cause and next year we anticipate a big increase as Singing Valentines catch on. Chorus members had SO much fun doing this and we sincerely appreciate the support of our residents for our new project.
