[HANASHIR:8784] choir appreciation poll results

[H & R Shubert <notfranz...>]

Thank you for your wonderful suggestions on how to show appreciation and build 
community in a volunteer choir.  I have compiled a list from all your answers 
to share with everyone involved with a synagogue choir.  
  a.. choir party at home
  b.. choral canvas bags, pencils, choir folders
  c.. recognition by congregation, esp. leaders and board members (since there 
is never applause)
  d.. allocation of a choir fund -- appreciative congregants may make donations
  e.. skill-building workshops - vocal technique, sight-reading, music theory, 
Hebrew pronunciation
  f.. refreshment time at rehearsals
  g.. single roses after the HHD's
  h.. choir recordings
  i.. joining up with another choir for an exchange
  j.. participation in a civic event
  k.. annual appreciation dinner
  l.. retreat
Thanks again,
Rachelle
