REMEMBERING REGION 11 FRIENDS...

As our organization becomes older, so do we.

How many of you remember the Sweet Adeline Calendar with large Chapter pictures? Maryellen Spence presented it to the region and it was used for many years. Maryellen was also a past president of SANTA MONICA CHAPTER and devised what may have been the fi rst velcro costume that changed completely, on stage, for the 1967 Championship.

Lucille Spitzer, another SANTA MONICA past president, was an early winning arranger, with her name on the first Arrangers Trophy.

Maryellen died December 21, 2006 and Lucille passed on in January.

Another one of "the old gang", needs your positive thoughts and prayers. Anita Henkens was admitted to UCLA's hospital with a stroke and a heart attack in February. Pioneers of Region 11 are still going, but at about 80 years or so, we're happy to have "been there and done that".
