(Please pass this message on to your chorus.) -------------------- I know it's last minute, but by popular demand, I've put together another Region 11 dinner at International. It's a great opportunity to connect with friends near the end of the fantastic week in Portland. WHEN: Friday, October 12 at 5:30 (between the Quartet finals and the Coronet Club show) WHERE: Pasta Bella ? 709 SW 17th Ave. -- about 2 miles from the Rose Garden Arena. The MAX transit line stops right in front of the restaurant MENU: We will be served family-style (if you were in Orlando's restaurant last year, all that food was served family-style). We will all get plenty of ALL of the following dishes: -- Antipasto -- Spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette -- Chicken breast in lemon sauce with artichokes, spinach, and sundried tomatoes -- Italian sausage and shrimp in tomato sauce (restaurant specialty) -- Veal Ossobucco -- thinly sliced veal in white wine/lemon sauce -- Tiramisu -- Chocolate mousse **Beverages are a la carte.** PRICE: $28 (includes tip) -- there's no tax in Oregon! The restaurant is small -- only seats 50 -- so the owner is closing it to the public for our party! Therefore, this dinner is limited to the first 50 people who respond AND SEND ME A CHECK. No check, no reservation. Once I reach 50 responses, others who are interested will go on a waiting list. If you'd like to go, please RSVP right away, and then send me a check, payable to Debbie Curtis. 464 Deerhurst Ave., Camarillo, CA 93012. I must receive all checks BY OCTOBER 6. Looking forward to another great Region 11 dinner at International! Debbie

If your chorus or quartet has a Web site, please send me your URL so the link can be included on the NEW Region 11 Web site -- to be launched in a few weeks.

Hi - Doreen Philbin here. Just wanted to give everyone I can think of a heads-up that my email address will be changing within the next two weeks or so. We're finally giving up AOL for hopefully greener (and cheaper) pastures. And, considering my quartet, Sterling, has been gone for years now, I simply must think of something different next time around, anyway. Stay tuned for my new "e-dress", or reply that you never want to hear from me again and I'll delete you from my little electronic black book. Thanks! Doreen

Congratulations to Santa Monica Chorus and Channelaire Chorus for receiving awards in the Members Count! Incentive program!!! Santa Monica took 2nd place honors for membership growth in the Mid-Size Chorus Division with 48.28% growth, and Channelaire received the 2nd place award for membership growth in the Large Chorus Division with 31.8% growth. Both choruses will receive a certificate and 2 free IES registrations for next year -- and will be recognized on stage in Portland!! WHOO HOO! Haven't heard from any other Region 11 choruses who've won Members Count! awards this year -- anyone else??? Debbie Curtis PROUD Membership Coordinator Channelaire Chorus

Angel City did VERY well at the Buckeye Invitational last weekend. It is a contest for SPEBS, SAI, and HI competitors who have just missed the International cut of their own organization. They compete with a 12 minute package a la SAI finals. THey are judged by a real panel, which has a full SAI panel, full SPEBS panle, and one HI person. They are also judged on entertainment by audience members who have paid more to judge that category, and then they is an overall champ. Angel City was 2nd in "real" scoring, FIRST in entertainment, FIRST in Women's overall, and 2nd in the grand championship. Having had the pleasure of participating in this 3 times before finally being let in to International, I can honestly say they came away with a ton of hardware that is very difficult to get! Drop them a congratulatory note and look up their efforts on the Harmonet with Jade Walker's reporting from Columbus. Alan Gordon Director- VHSC

Whoo Hoo! to the Angels. I bet the audience loved the fiddle! Congratulations for a great showing! Debbie Curtis Channelaire Chorus

Hi to everyone who's joined our new e-group! If you haven't done so already - or don't know anything about it - go to the SAI Web site (www.sweetadelineintl.org) and take the survey about dual membership within the same region. International is looking for feedback from all of us before they make a decision! Hope to see most of you in Bakersfield this coming weekend! Debbie Curtis Region 11 Communications/Technology Coordinator Channelaire Cho
