Woodland Chorale Community Singers Performance Benefits Schools and Community
The Woodland Chorale, a local choral group under the direction of Dr. Harry Johansen, presented a program titled Music of the Spirit and of the Heart at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 14 in the Frederic High School gymnasium.
Proceeds from this public performance will benefit the Salvation Army’s “Moola for Milk” program and provide scholarship funds for area high school students wishing to attend music camp. Last year’s show raised $1300, which was divided between the W.I.N.G.S. Foundation and Community Referral Agency.
The 30-member chorale will be accompanied by pianist Christine Johansen. This year’s program features a range of styles including Broadway hits, gospel tunes, ballads and sacred music, including works by Handel, Kirby Shaw, Aaron Copland and Rogers & Hammerstein.
A free will offering will be accepted at the door and refreshments will be available during the intermission break. This event is being jointly sponsored by the Community Education programs of Frederic, Luck and Unity schools. For more information call Ann Fawver at 327-4868.

The Luck Ruby's Pantryfood distribution is next week; please mark your calendar and also spread the word.

Also... everyone who attends this distribution can put their name into a drawing to win one of FIVE gift certificates to be redeemed at the April 17 distribution. It's one way we can say thanks to everyone who attends Ruby's Pantry as we keep this outreach program going strong. Thank you! :)
Sponsors are also welcome to purchase one or more gift certificates at $15 each. Our outreach team can either give you the certificates to give someone for a future distribution, or just ask us to "gift" the certificate to a local family for you! Please "reply" and ask for more details.

Volunteers are also valuable as advisors on the Community Ed. board, collating newsletters for mailing, and special events. If you can volunteer during the school year, please contact the Luck Elementary office at 715-472-2152 ext. 108 or Comm.Ed. at 715-472-2152 ext. 103.
The annual luncheon to celebrate our volunteers was held in early May. Mike and Jan Bauer were named 2011 Volunteers of the Year in appreciation for many years of serving both at Luck School and in our community.
