This November, the Cumberland County Community Chorus will be giving a Veterans Benefit Concert. This "American Heroes" concert will be Sunday, Nov. 8, at 3 p.m., and held in the auditorium of Stone Memorial High School located on Cook Road in Crossville. The afternoon program will be a collection of patriotic melodies and Americana favorites. Others sharing the stage for this benefit concert will be a Clarion Brass Quintet from the Southern Stars Brass Orchestra; the Andrews Sisters; Ann Looney, on piano; and Marty Gibson, chorus director, musician and vocalist.
The Young Marines of Cumberland County will be there to help at the door and hand out concert programs. They will also post and retire the colors along with leading everyone in the Pledge of Allegiance.
A freewill donation will be asked the day of the concert with all proceeds going to the Cumberland County Veterans Relief Fund helping local veterans in need of assistance and Any Soldier Inc., a non-profit charitable organization helping active military proudly serving in harm’s way.
You are invited to an afternoon of musical entertainment celebrating our freedom and thanking those who fought to preserve it and continue to do so today. Please lend your support to these two very worthwhile organizations.
You can direct any comments or questions to Jan Schimmel at 456-1051 or Helen Callis at 707-8177, or email the chorus at cccchorus@frontier.com.
