This year we will be helping meet the many needs of a home for abandoned babies in South Africa. Please watch for details. HOLIDAY LIGHTS FOR AMERICA <b><font size="6">&quot;The HARMONY Tree&quot;</font></b> <font size="4">The Chorus at Madison will be participating in a community service project called Holiday Lights for America sponsored by Laurel Gardens formerly Rosedale of Trumbull. The chorus will receive a three foot artificial tree to decorate in any way. The tree is due back to Rosedale by Dec. 2nd and will be on display the following week with others trees. On December 5th from 3-7pm the trees will be auctioned off in a silent auction. The proceeds from the event will go to charity. Our tree will be titled &quot;The HARMONY Tree&quot;, like last year, although this year's theme will be snowflakes. It is asked that any student in the Madison Singers, 6th, 7th or 8th grade chorus at Madison make a decoration for the tree. Keep in mind that the tree is only three feet tall. The only requirement is that the decoration be a kind of snowflake. BE CREATIVE! Here is the story that inspired our theme this year: &quot;Tell me the weight of a snowflake,&quot; a robin asked a wild dove. &quot;Nothing more than nothing,&quot; was the answer. &quot;In that case I must tell you a marvelous story,&quot; the robin said. &quot;I sat on the branch of a fir, close to its trunk, when it began to snow --not heavily, not in a raging blizzard, no, just like in a dream, without any violence. Since I didn't have anything better to do, I counted the snowflakes settling on the twigs and needles of my branch. Their number was exactly 3,741,952. When the next snowflake dropped onto the branch -- nothing more than nothing, as you say --the branch broke off.&quot; Having said that the robin flew away. The dove, being an authority on the matter, thought for awhile and finally said to herself: &quot;Perhaps there is only one person's voice lacking for peace to come to the world.&quot; <b>The deadline to submit a decoration is Dec. 2nd. LAST YEAR YOUR CREATIVITY HELPED TO RAISE OVER $900 !!!!.</b></font>/textarea> Links Section Title:
