When I was a child, Tuesdays were always sacred. I knew that on Tuesday nights, my mother would not be putting us to bed — she would be out leading a North Country Chorus rehearsal.

I’ve come to understand and share her passion and devotion to the chorus. Since becoming director, I, too, look forward to Tuesday nights. It’s then that I get to lead the most wonderful group of singers who are devoted to the choral art form and who hunger for the chance to share in the communal joy of singing. I think most would agree that by the end of each Tuesday rehearsal, we have all been lifted by the aural beauty of the collective human voice. That enrichment of the soul carries us until the next Tuesday.

For years, the North Country Chorus has gathered on Tuesday nights to share in the joy of singing together. Tonight, September 9, we’d love for you to add your voice to our song as we begin rehearsals of Handel’s most famous work, Messiah.

No audition is required, only a love for singing! Please visit our website, northcountrychorus.org, for more information.

-- Alan Rowe, North Country Chorus Director

What to do when you find a needle?

To be safe and legal, dispose of home-generated sharps, needles, and syringes in this manner:

Place sharps in an empty, rigid plastic container, such as a laundry detergent bottle.

Tape the bottle’s cap shut with strong tape. Firmly attach a “Do Not Recycle” label to the bottle. You can print this sample label or call 802-828-1138 to request "Do Not Recycle" stickers for home-generated sharps.

Dispose of bottle in the trash.
