Members of the RB Chorale provided holiday choral entertainment at the Dec 3 meeting of RB Sunrise Rotary. The chorale had expected to have a piano available for their min-concert, but the piano had been removed by the Country Club of RB. The chorale group did a great job of using internet available accompaniments for the songs they sang.
Afterward, President Bret Geernaert presented the RB Chorale with a check for $500.00 for their scholarship fund. This a second year in a row that RB Sunrise Rotary has assisted with the RB Choral's scholarship fund for aspiring musicians.
