UU Pittsburgh Community Singers

Greetings all!

Hugh and I spent the weekend in DC, visiting family, friends, museums, and All Souls Unitarian Church, which has a great choir.  (And Hugh was attending a law conference, too.)

I heard great things about the Peace Concert on Sunday.  Many thanks to everyone who participated with the combined Lemington / Community Singers, and especially to Rev Deryck and Lee for leading the group.
