C5 sings!

Patty Sacry directing choir

Choir members with Jac and Sherri
The amazing C5 community children's choir in Carthage, Missouri sang for the benefit of HealthEd Connect October 23.  Actually, I should clarify that it's not exactly a children's choir.    It started out that way but none of the kids wanted to leave so the choir now has youth of all ages.  There are over 25 members in the choir but many had conflicting school activities and were not able to attend the program. 

Led by Patty Sacry and accompanied on the piano by Patty's husband, Dr. Roger Sacry, the choir sang in harmony, practiced 1/2 note intervals and in everyway amazed us.  The choir is a big booster and fund raiser for HealthEd Connect and asked us to come to Joplin to share more about the programs.  So Jac and Sherri Kirkpatrick made the trek to Joplin to share stories and hear the choir perform amazing African songs for the benefit of a very appreciative audience.   One of the young choir members proudly told us after the performance that she was planning to go to Africa someday and already had $36 saved!  What a great group of young people!!!
