SSSG Notes March 28,  2019

In This Issue:





Hello all,

Please know there are group classes this Saturday, March 30.

A gentle reminder that the GYMC is a shared space with many other organizations.  As of late the GYMC has had a number of complaints about loud play, running & disruptive behaviour it the hallways & lobby.  The GYMC is asking the SSSG to participate in trying to keep the GYMC a calm, focussed place where youth can develop their musical passion & skill.
The GYMC is also now making the building sent free in support of those with allergies & sensitivities to scents.  Please refrain from using perfumes & strong scents while at the GYMC.

Lastly, a reminder about the upcoming SSSG Spring Concert on Sunday, April 28 at the River Run.  Large group rehearsals will be on Saturday, April 27 at St George's Church. A detailed schedule coming shortly.

Thanks so very much.

Warmly,

Janet Johnson
