Harmoniously, Brian Miller President Alexandria NFB From: Alexandria Harmonizers On Behalf Of Alexandria Harmonizers Sent: Sunday, February 3, 2019 7:13 AM To: brianrmiller88 at gmail.com Subject: THE ECHO: News from the Alexandria Harmonizers February 2018 Volume 11, Issue 1 WHIFFENPOOFS in ALEXANDRIA Join the Harmonizers as we present The Yale Whiffenpoofs! The world's oldest, collegiate a cappella group were formerly all-male, however, they recently opened membership to women and have their first female Whiffenpoof! The Alexandria Harmonizers are hosting a joint concert at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial, at 3pm on Saturday, February 9th. Tickets are only $30 and are available here. This show is General Admission with open seating, so plan to arrive early. Harmonizer Holidays 2018 The 2018 Holidays were busy for the Harmonizers. We performed our "Secret of Christmas" Holiday Concert at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria on December 8th. This show had an international twist and featured the return of our our beloved "Jack", performed by long-time Harmonizer, Terry Reynolds. The show was written and produced by Jeff Burkey and comprehensively managed by our Director of Shows, Joe Cerutti, Sr. - both men deserve major kudos for their efforts! It was a fun story and it was great to see Terry in the Jack-In-The-Box once again! Besides the Harmonizers the concert featured the mixed quartet Better Together, with Harmonizers Andrew Havens and Tony Colismo, along with their wives, Heather and Elizabeth. Our resident small ensemble chorus, TBD sang three songs, as well. The concert was a huge success and was nearly sold out. On the 9th, TBD, performed a short concert at Clarendon Presbyterian Church, in Arlington for an annual event called "The Spirited Carol Sing". TBD rehearses at CPC, and performs at the church a couple times a year to show appreciation to the community. After the concert and carol sing, the church hosted a Pasta Bar with lots of pasta and several different pasta toppers. It was a festive evening! On December 15th, a group of about 25 Harmonizers went on a Holiday Carol Sing at selected retirement and care centers. We stopped at The Fountains at Washington House, Woodbine Nursing Home, Sunrise of Alexandria and The Hermitage. Clyde Crusenberry organized and planned the event which was directed by Joe Cerutti, Jr. It was a delightful afternoon and went off without a hitch despite a bit of rain. Finally, the Harmonizers performed our annual "Carol Crawl" in Old Town Alexandria on December 18th. The event was organized by Mark Klostermeyer and Joe Cerutti, Sr. About 60 - 70 Harmonizers attended, it was the best attended Carol Crawl that most of us could remember! We visited about nine to ten establishments and sang three songs in each place to the delight of the customers - lots of smiles and laughs! We did an impromptu concert in front of the Torpedo Factory, where we sang some of our more challenging Holiday pieces for the amazed passers-by. We ended up at Caldwell's on the waterfront where we sang and then filed upstairs for food, more singing and Holiday Cheer! It was an eventful Holiday season with a lot of community outreach, here's to much more in 2019! Join The Alexandria Harmonizers for the Together in Harmony Concert - an international celebration of vocal harmony with our very special guests from New Zealand, the Vocal Collective, as well as our local friends, the terrific Alexandria Singers. Musical selections will run the gamut of a capella barbershop to modern pop and lots of fun in-between! The event will be at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial on March 20th, at 7:00 pm, and tickets are only $10! Tickets may be purchased on Eventbrite. Please join us for a wonderful evening of international harmonic camaraderie! "70-for-70" Fundraising Initiative In 2018, our 70th anniversary year, we set an ambitious goal to raise $70,000 from individual donors. We are very pleased to report that our "70 for 70" campaign was a success! We exceeded our goal, and raised over $73,000! 2018 was the most successful fundraising year in Harmonizer history. A hearty "THANK YOU" to all of our generous patrons and donors - you make what we do possible!

The public is invited to provide feedback on the bus network concepts this winter through a variety of engagement activities. The purpose of the ATV Plan, which began in 2018, is to redraw the city?s bus network to better serve current and future transit demand, and to better reflect community priorities for transit service. The ATV Plan involves three rounds of civic engagement to ensure that the concerns and ideas of the Alexandria community are heard, recognized and incorporated into the development of a future transit network. The first engagement round was conducted in fall 2018 to define community transit priorities. The second round is being held this winter to receive input on the transit network concepts. Based on the input, final recommendations will be made later this spring and will be brought back to the public through a third engagement round in early summer. How to Get Involved The following are civic engagement opportunities that will be used to gain feedback regarding the transit network concepts. * Online Metroquest Survey (English and Spanish) * Eight ?pop-up? events at various community events and transit stations in February and March * Three public workshops focusing on the transit network concepts (content repeated at each workshop): * Tuesday, March 5, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Hammond Middle School Library 14646 Seminary Road * Wednesday, March 6, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Armstrong Recreation Center (Formerly Cora Kelly Rec Center) 25 West Reed Avenue * Thursday, March 7, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Nannie J.
