Region 3 Directors and Assistants had a great time at the Director and Assistant Director Retreat with Rob Mance in East Peoria Nov. 20th, 2022, hosted by Heart of Illinois Chorus. 15 Directors and Assistants attended, had a great time, and learned lots!
Sweet Adelines first International Education Symposium was well-attended by Region 3! We had fun, learned a lot and tried not to melt in the 100+ temps!
Congratulations to Joan Boutilier, recipient of the 2022 Sweet Adelines International President’s Lifetime Achievement Award. As International President from 2020-2022, Joan led the organization through the unimaginable challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Current International President Thérèse Antonini writes of Joan’s presidency, “You stayed true through every challenge you faced, providing inspiration and encouragement to an entire organization trying to find its new way. It is an achievement and a legacy that will never be forgotten.” In addition, Joan is an International Quartet Champion, singing tenor with The Four Bettys (2008).
Please come and join our clinician, Tori Hicks for a great day of singing Saturday June 25 10 am-3 pm . Join us for loads of singing as we sing in a big chorus! We'll learn a new song, have lunch, and have big Sweet Adeline-style fun!! Muisc (Don't Stop Me Now by Queen) and lunch are provided.
