Important Dates and Times for the Seeds of Compassion Choir

[Kellie LaRue]

Hello everyone!

I hope this email finds you well and ready to continue singing for and about peace.  I know that it was with great joy that I recently read about unprecedented talks between Tibet and China.  I was filled with deep gratitude when I read in the paper about how these peace talks arose shortly after the very high profile visit of HH to Seattle.  I will be forever grateful for having a small part in this process.  Thank you all for making this possible!

 

Folk Life Festival

As expected the Seeds of Compassion choir has been invited to perform at Folk Life.  These performance will be much more low key and relaxed than our high energy and high security performance for the Dalai Lama. 

We have two scheduled times.  Each of these time slots will be more like giant sing-alongs rather than rehearsed performances.  Accordingly, there are no scheduled rehearsals between now and the folk life festivals.  Both performances will be at the Intiman Courtyard in Seattle Center.  The courtyard is adjacent to the Intiman Theater. 

Friday, May 23rd 5:00 - 6:00 * Seattle Center, Intiman Courtyard 

Sunday, May 25th 1:00 - 1:50, Seattle Center, Intiman Courtyard 

* Immediately afterwards, Folks Life will be showing the movie "Amandla" about the role singing played in South Africa's struggle with racial oppression.

As always, all are welcome, so please feel free to invite anyone that enjoys singing for peace. 

Children's Camps with Mary K

Mary K will be leading the musical portions for two children's camps this summer.  Both camps are scheduled from July 21 - 25 in different parts of Seattle. These are both excellent opportunities for children to connect with their voice in many ways. 

Seattle Children's Peace Camp  

The 7th annual Seattle Children's Peace Camp will be held July 21-25 at The Valley School in Seattle.  Seattle Children's Peace Camp provides an alternative day camp experience which fosters an understanding of peace, justice, and environmental awareness, and reflects the needs, experiences, and backgrounds of the children and families involved. Mary K. will be leading children in songs that week! Campers ages 5-12 and junior counselors ages 13-18 are encouraged to enroll. Tuition is $250 for campers and $50 for junior counselors; scholarships are available. SCPC is also currently hiring peace camp teachers; please inquire if you have experience and are interested. Check out http://www.seattlechildrenspeacecamp.org/  for more information or to register campers or junior counselors. Questions? Contact Julie Bisson at jbi...@comcast.net or (206) 298-2926.

Middle East Peace Camp

MEPC is focused on building a community of Arab, Jews and our friends based on peace, justice and compassion through recreation, education and leadership development.  This year's camp will be located at Magnuson park and Mary K will be leading the children in songs. For more information please check the website at  http://www.middleeastpeacecamp.org/

As always, please LMK if you have questions,
