A little humor
“I have a rock garden. Last week three of them died. ~ Richard Diran

I was just wondering…
Is there another word for ‘Synonym?’
What’s another name for ‘Thesaurus?’
What would a guy named Geronimo yell when he jumped out of a plane?

From the Choir Loft
The chorus did a great job performing the Easter cantata: ‘I’ve Seen Jesus.’ Our chorus presented this beautiful piece in Sheridan and in Cattaraugus, NY. Just think of it! We have been in constant rehearsals since the beginning of September, when we began rehearsing for Christmas. And as soon as we complete our Easter season (April 6 at Holy Trinity R.C. church in Dunkirk), we will begin rehearsals for our patriotic presentation. We could use you. Singing or non-singing help is desperately needed. Please contact Bud (716) 934-7734.
