Capitaland Member of the Month

December 2022 / January 2023 Member of the Month (MOM)

Capitaland’s Member of the Month (MOM) for December/January is Alice Flynn, awarded by Linda Brown: Alice is a quiet lady who has a sweet, gentle personality, attends most all rehearsals and performances and helps out with various things behind the scenes. Alice was one of my first volunteers for the Boscov fundraiser almost 9 years ago and has been one of our top sellers over the years. It is my pleasure to recognize Alice Flynn as December/January's "Member of the Month."

November 2022 Member of the Month (MOM)

Capitaland’s Member of the Month (MOM) for November is Linda Brown. As a Sweet Adeline for more than 50 years, she’s a stellar example of what the Sweet Adelines are all about. She has a warm and friendly attitude toward all, and frequently steps up for small tasks that no one else has undertaken. For several years she has been the organizer of one of Capitaland’s main fundraising efforts, the Boscov’s Friends Helping Friends events, and has trained others to go forward with it.

Linda Brown awarded by Sherri Strickman

Congratulations, Linda, November’s MOM.

October 2022 Member of the Month (MOM)

Congratulations to Sherri Strichman who is Capitaland’s Member of the Month (MOM)

October Member of the month - Sherri Strickman

She was awarded this honor by September MOM, Mary Murphy. Mary decided to put Sherri’s contributions to the chorus in a poem......

It’s really quite the honor, to be the one to wear

This beautiful red adornment that was made with loving care

But now it’s time to pass it on to someone well deserving

And so I’ll tell you all the things she does for Capitaland she’s serving.

She knows her music very well, especially sharps and flats.

She blows the pitch and can always tell when we’ve dropped; it drives her bats!!

She sews so well and created, a cape for Super Sue!!

And always brings in cans and cans and sometimes bottles, too.

And let’s not forget the she wears the hat of Music Librarian

She makes copies for the guest books, organizing and alphabetizing before she puts them in.

She really does so many things she ought to be the one

To wear this red adornment and be the October MOM!!

And if you haven’t guessed by now who this person just might be

I’ll give you all a little hint....... her name is SHERRI

Congratulations to Sherri for an honor well deserved!!

Member of the Month for September 2022

This month's member of the month ("MOM") was Mary Murphy! She was awarded the red badge by previous "MOM" Fran Pinto. Mary has been doing so much behind (and in front of) the scenes work for the chorus that she deserves this award! She collects empty bottles and cans and redeems them for the chorus. She works on chorus publicity - newspaper ads, organizing informational tables, lugging around flyers and business cards, in addition to singing at every possible venue, as we get our name out there!! She's always got a smile on her face (only sometimes because she's being naughty!) She also recently took on the job of forwarding email messages to the chorus. Congrats to Mary on an honor well-deserved!
