Epiphany Party – January 3rd
An enthusiastic group of chapter members and friends gathered on January 3 for our sixth annual Epiphany party hosted by Andrea and David Handley. Guests enjoyed delicious food and drink provided by the Handleys in their beautifully decorated home.
After dinner, guests shared in the fun of completing “An Epiphany MadLib” (text below), the brainchild of Sharon Peterson. Participants also were treated to an impromptu performance of “Sleigh Ride” by Leroy Anderson played by George Radosavljevic and Andrea Handley on the piano and accompanied by Brian Schoettler on sleigh bells and Pat Radosavljevic on slapstick.
The evening also included a fun group sing-along. Richard Clemmitt led “The Work of Christmas,” a choral anthem by Dan Forrest. Andrea led the singing of traditional carols for Christmas and Epiphany, with carol booklets provided by Rich Spantikow.
A wonderful time was had by all! Many thanks to Andrea and David for so graciously opening their home to our chapter once again!
An Epiphany MadLib
(Created by Sharon Peterson and completed by Epiphany Party guests)
Once upon a time an Organist was feeling ethereal after playing many pianos. She wanted to specialize, but her organ wouldn’t let her. Christmas had come and gone, and she was filled with potatoes. She knew she had a big Bach to make.
As Epiphany approached, she decided to crash with her portativ. Her family didn’t understand, but they sang anyway. What happened? She ran and laughed as beautifully as she could, and the result was amazing.
Every time she awoke, she realized she needed scrumptious practice. However, her glockenspiel encouraged her to practice after the ticklish week of vacation. Ferocious people came out to organize their contemplative opinions.
Since last year, the Organist had always wanted to play, but it marvelously happened. This time, determined to picket, the Organist finally reached zimbelstern. It was an Epiphany to yell!
She lived slyly ever after.
