THE DIANA NEWS LETTER
SEPTEMBER 13th & 14th 2019
It is almost time for the Sept. Diana Singing. It seems like it is such a short time from June to September. We had a great turn out for the June 50th Anniversary Singing and hope that you were able to be there. The Board tried to plan for everything we could think of and the only big problem was the limited parking. We estimated the crowd at over 5000 and it was great to have such a large turn out. We thank you so much for your attendance. With your help, maybe we can keep the Singing going for another 50 years.
Randy Jenkins does a great job with the Diana web page. He keeps up-to date info on there. There are songs on there and an order form so that you might order C/Ds of the Singing. We also have restaurant and motel addresses and phone numbers available on line. Please check out our web site when you have time at www.dianasinging.com
We plan to have the benches cleaned by Friday morning , the 6th and we ask that you please do not put any blankets out until after Friday morning. Most of the cleaning will be done with a presure washer and the blankets could get wet. We also ask that you do not reserve more than 10 seats in the front half of the Singing Shed.
PLEASE We need to keep our contact info up to date so if you have had any kind of address changes please let us know. I know some of you that we are mailing the News Letter have computers or smart phones that we could send the News Letter to. Send changes to heyjack1935@gmail.com
While you are at the Singing please visit our Tape Shed, [for C/D s of the Singing], The Hall of Fame, [with pictures of those who have helped over the years], The Song Book Museum, [with many old and rare song books,] the Gift Shop [with logo items and donated items] and the Ham Shed, [for sandwiches and cold drinks], with all proceeds from these going to keep the Singing going.
“Come by some one’s invitation this time and bring someone by your invitation next time”
THIS PAGE FOR THE CAMPERS
We are planning to have the campground ready and some of us will be there on Friday, August. 30st. We are having to have some electrical work done but that should be completed before the 30th. If you need to come earlier than the 30th you might need to call to make sure the work has been completed. You are welcome to come any time after that and we hope you can come early so we can all get together over the weekend. There will be grass to cut, the Ham Shed, bathrooms and benches to be cleaned. Most of us are getting older so it sure would be good if as many of you that could, would come early to help with this work. We don’t have any extra work planned {unless something breaks}. Lawrence Taylor will again be in charge of helping you set-up and the spaces are marked off. Camping is as always “first come, first serve” and there is no charge for camping, but your donations are greatly appreciated. The water and electricity run about $2,000.00 each singing.
We don’t have any extra activities planned for the Sept. singing but we just hope that you will come as early as you can so that we can be together and enjoy each other for the week before the Singing. The Church at Diana does not have a meeting in the fall and it is a little more relaxed.
We always need volunteers to work in the Gift Shop and the Ham Shed on Friday and Saturday nights and we will have lists for both places in the window at the Ham Shed. The ladies that take care of the Gift Shop will need help getting everything ready in there also. Please bring anything that you might want to donate to the Gift Shop. Please check the “To Do” list in the door of the Ham Shed.
