For June 10-11, 2022, Diana Singing
It is almost time for the June Diana Singing! After two years of silence, we are ALL ready to sing all night again! The excitement for this coming June singing is immeasurable; the emails, the phone calls, the text messages, the messages via social media… it is adding up to a reunion of reunions! Be making your plans now… get your camper ready, reserve your hotel room(s), and tell your friends! We have information on our web site (www.dianasinging.com) for hotels and restaurants in the area.
While you are here for the singing, please visit the Tape Shed, the Hall of Fame, the Song Book Museum, the Gift Shop and the Ham Shed. The proceeds from all these venues go directly to the operation of the Singing. With no proceeds for the past two years, we need your donations or purchases while you are at the Singing. So please come early and eat, laugh, buy, visit, spend and eat some more before and while you sing.
There are many exciting things that are and have been happening with The Diana Singing! Some news will be provided in a later newsletter or our website or Facebook page. Some from the stage on Friday night.
Two bits of news we can share now:
- there are updates to the Singing Shed and general grounds.
- a new car parking area adjacent to the singing property is now available.
“But wait, there’s more” later! =)
We will have the seats cleaned by June 3rd so please wait until June 4th to mark your seats. Cleaning in the Singing Shed will be in progress until that day. We also ask that you do not save more than 10 seats on the first 6 rows from middle and sides.
WORKDAYS
We are pushing for a big workday on the 14th. We are needing some help to do some improvements around the grounds and shed. Many hands will be needed to get the work done. We will be there on May 7th also doing other things to get ready for the singing. If you can help, please let me know at 256-665-3868 or rajrolltide@gmail.com
PLEASE: We want to keep our records up to date. If you have moved or changed any of your information, please send us a note to let us know at rajrolltide@gmail.com
THIS PART FOR THE CAMPERS
We are planning to have the campground opened by May 27th, but a few of us will be there a little early to open-up water and bath houses.
Everything that we would usually do before a singing will still need to be done; cutting the grass, Ham Shed emptied and cleaned thoroughly, bathrooms will need to be cleaned up good, Hall of Fame and Songbook Museum will need cleaning top to bottom too. Ladies who usually clean up in the Gift Shop, your help will still be needed.
Lawrence Taylor will be available to help you with parking your camper and spaces will be marked as usual. Please use the back row for the 50amp campers only. Camp lots are, as usual, on a first-come first-served basis and there will be no charge for camping. However, your donations to help with the cost of water and electricity would be appreciated as these usually run about $2,000 for each singing.
We depend on the campers to help with the work going on during the weeks before the singing. If you see work going on, ask what you can do to help.
We always need volunteers to help in the Ham Shed and the Gift Shop on Friday and Saturday nights June 10th and 11th. There will be “sign-up sheets” at the Ham Shed the week before Singing.
On marker board at Ham Shed there will be a “TO DO LIST” for each day. Check it out every day for changes.
Several of us gather at Ham Shed early each morning for coffee, you are always welcome to join us.
PLEASE remember that we only pick at those we love, so be ready!!
