[HANASHIR:17037] RE: Special Anniversary

[Shir Chadash <shir_chadash...>]

A 150th anniversary is really something special.  Just a thought ... maybe 
it would be a good time to find some funds to commission a new piece (for 
two voices since your soloist is singing with you).  We have some amazing 
composers in the Reform Movement.
