Editor,
“Many hands make light work” rings true for the creation and deliverance of “The Awakening” Mission Valley Choral Society concerts held on Palm Sunday weekend. No more than four specific names can be used here, so a general thank you follows.
Thank you to Mission Valley Choral Society director Christian Bumgarner and accompanist Karla Gallatin as well as choral leaders. Thank you to three churches for the use of their facilities: New Life Church for practices; the St. Ignatius Mission Church for the Saturday concert, and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church for the Sunday concert and meal. A special thank you to Father Kevin Christofferson and parishioners of ICCC for meal set-up, preparation, serving and clean-up.
Food donations were crucial to create a tasty ham, potatoes, salad and dessert meal. A special thank you to Julie Conrad, Blooming Joy Farms in Ronan for donating hams. And an all- encompassing thank you to those who provided salads and desserts.
A high-five to the Polson High School National Honor Society advisor and students for hanging event posters.
Donations for Mission Valley Choral Society taken at the Saturday concert totaled $464 to be used for music. Mission Valley Choral Society’s mailing address: MVCS, P.O. Box 1165, Polson, MT 59860. Donations for Helping Hands of Mission Valley taken at the Sunday concert and meal totaled $2,705 to be used to help at-risk residents. The Helping Hands mailing address is P.O.
