Calling All Vendors - Boutique Opportunity
Hello Region 11 Friends, This year, the SAI Region 21 contest will be held in the heart of Region 11 at the Marsee Auditorium at El Camino College in Torrance, CA. Members of the region will be housed at the Marriott in Torrance. The contest will be held April 11th-14th. For the first time since COVID, we are organizing a “Harmony Boutique” with outside vendors. The Lighthouse Ballroom near the lobby of the Marriott will be the hub for region 21 activities, registration, and the “Harmony Boutique.” Do you know of a vendor who would like the opportunity to promote their products to over 500 women and their guests? If yes, I’d love to hear from you. You already know the kind of things the SAI audience loves to shop for: anything that blings, jewelry, musical-themed items, t-shirts, make-up, bath products, handbags, travel products, clothing etc… Feel free to send vendor information directly to me, or you may also share my contact information with a potential vendor. I have an information packet and application ready to go. I look forward to sharing the list of the participating vendors with region 11 boutique managers. Since we will be back in Torrance in 2025, this could be a 2-year opportunity. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. In Harmony, Sheree Mills shereeinrpv@... (310) 200-8530

Happy Kindness Week Region 11! It's time to celebrate another fantastic year of harmony in pictures. Please coordinate with your TC/Presidents & Directors to send in your favorite chorus and quartet moments of 2023-2024 Year. We will be creating our annual video slide show connecting all our efforts and sharing all we've been up to all year! This video will be shown over contest weekend online. Link will be provided at that time. ? Each chorus, including your chapter quartets, may send 4-6 pictures from your activities during the year. These should be candid pictures that you choose to represent your group. Even your zoom meetings! If you have a teeny tiny less than 6 second video snippet you would like to include...performing, candid moments, fancy choreo move etc, I will happily include this as part of your picture count, but it must be cropped to no more than 6 seconds. ? I will be using logos and current chorus contest pictures the R11 website. If you have a more current logo/contest pic or logo, please send this as well. ? Theme this year is "Blue Skies" if you want something to guide your visual choices, this is an option. ? It is helpful to include details of your photo name of chorus/quartet/coach/guest what activity it is depicting when and where it was taken ? To avoid a flood of notifications, select "reply" rather than "reply all" to send your photos in this thread. If you send a separate email, please use "YEAR IN REVIEW 2024" in the subject line and include the name of your chorus. Send to moonsuep@... If you are sending small pics (2 inches/500 pixels) they may work better in a collage. I can do this for you if needed. Speaking of which, collages = 1 pic. Many of you have sent these in the past and they're a great way to feature more of your activities, hard work, and fun. I am setting the deadline for return pics by Sunday, MARCH 3rd, National "I Want You to be Happy Day". If you have an occasion you want to include that occurs after this, just give me a heads up and I can add you later. No problem. If you miss the deadline and I cannot get a hold of your chorus for some odd reason, I will stalk the internet for photos. I never leave anyone out. But fair warning...I have photoshop and I will use it. If I have to go looking, I may just add myself to all your pics. Thank you all! (Aloisius) Sue Walker Region 11 Year in Review Video Chair Awards Chair Convention Committee Communications Coordinator, Voices United Chorus Communications, Seminar Committee

Hello fabulous R11, Preparations for our upcoming contest in March are well underway, but we have a few items we are on the hunt for to borrow! If anyone or anyone has a contact who has either of the below items and can bring them to the OPAC for contest, it would be greatly appreciated! You would be helping the region to save some money from procuring them by other means! Please contact me at blzelman6@... and let me know! 1- Orange Traffic cones - medium to large. We need 12 cones to reserve spots for each quartet for the Friday contest (they do not all need to be the same) 2- Office chairs - need to collect 6 (do not need to be all the same), preferably black or dark colored, must be comfortable and rated for 8+ hours. Ideal if they are rolling and swivel. These are chairs that the judges and other pit crew will sit in, and we want our judges to be as comfortable as possible! Thank you, Britt Zelman Sweet Adelines- Region 11 Assistant Convention Manager

Harborlites Diva Day Festival Showcase
Hello Friends of Region 11, Harborlites will be hosting its 17th annual Diva Day music festival on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024, at the Robert B. Moore auditorium on the campus of Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, CA. The daylong event culminates in a late afternoon “Festival Showcase” for friends and family (see attached flyer.) Festival clinician, Melody Hine, will direct the enthusiastic students as they perform the songs they have learned. Quartets with members from both regions 11 and 21 will get some valuable “rug time” prior to upcoming contests. The current Region 21 quartet champions, “Solo Voce,” will be featured performers as they debut their new tenor, Kim Alley. And finally, the Harborlites Chorus will perform a short package before joining with the students for a combined chorus finale. It will be a wonderful show and best of all, IT’S FREE, however we will be accepting donations to support youth education programs. Make you plans now to attend. We’d love to see you there. In Harmony, Sheree Mills Diva Day Co-Chair (310) 200-8530

Region 11 has a new website
Hello Region 11 members, Region 11 now has a new website accessible at sairegion11.org. Bookmark this page! You will access the new website to register for the Regional Contest, beginning February 2. Details on this process will be coming soon from Debbie Curtis via the R11ng. In the meantime, feel free to look around the public portions of the site, including the page devoted to the upcoming contest. Just don't try to register yet. Please wait for further direction from Debbie. You currently do not have access to the Members section of the website, which is still under construction. When this becomes available in a few weeks, you will be able to access and update your membership information in the member database. In addition to keeping track of our R11 members, their respective choruses, quartets, leadership roles within the chorus and region, the Member section will also be a resource for music, educational videos, news, the calendar of events and associated details. These sections are still being built and while we expect it to be a work in progress for a while, we will make workable portions available to members soon. Best regards, Anita Treichel Region 11 ~ SAI Communications Coordinator

Possible issues today...
Hello, members of Region 11.. I’m sure you all have heard the news that we are quickly coming to the day our new website will be operational! We are so excited! I am being told there may be some issues with our current site while this process takes place. Our wonderful Laura La Borde is currently in the middle of the change-over. She said our current site may be unavailable today while the transfer is happening. Making the change to the name-servers is easy, but it will disrupt the connection to the old site. This will hopefully only be a short time, if at all. Either way we appreciate your patient while we get this done! Anita Treichel Communications Coordinator SAI ~ Region 11
