"Never Stop Singing" has started a project for people who love to SING! They also list all established choral groups in the Twin Cities area. Great resource! |
 2008 is the year the chorus added the "DRESS FOR SUCCESS" program by collecting lightly used clothing suitable for women going back to work.

undergoing the life-altering and demoralizing experiences involved in
the treatment of cancer.The Chorus members donate a portion of their show and fundraising income to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in honor of our cancer survivors and in memory of the members we have lost to cancer. In October of 2005 Liza Robson organized chorus participation in the "Making Strides for Breast Cancer" walk around Lake Nakomis under the sponsorship of her company, the AVR Corporation.

| TC Member Wendy Hamilton is especially involved with "Project Linus" |
Mary and Martha Godby,
coordinators for the Minnesota Chapter of Project Linus, with the help of
T.C. chorus members and Wendy Hamilton, met their goal of delivering the
ten-thousandth blanket to Twin City hospitals in a year! These blankets
are knitted, or sewn with polar fleece, quilted, by Minnesota volunteers
for preemies and children who are critically ill or traumatized. It is comforting
for a child to know that someone loves him enough to make his blanket. It's
like receiving a giant Hug!When the tragedy of September 11 created a greater need for blankets, members of T.C. Chorus gave generously to help Wendy provide 2000 blankets to send to the children of New York fire fighters. Giving comfort to others fills our hearts with joy as well.
