Fondy High Cardinal Singers, Annual Family Christmas Party

We were entertained by the 2017 Cardinal singers. It was a great way to start the Holiday Week. In addition to numerous performances during this week, the Singers were part of Night of silence at the High School last week . Charlene arranged for all Singers to take away a holiday candy bag. Pete presented a holiday check to their director Corey Schneider. Corey also joined us for breakfast. Special thanks to Pete for setting up the program, Charlene for setting up the breakfast and the Cardinal singers.

Monday Morning

We had a great turnout for our Annual Family Christmas on Monday.  We had 24 members in attendance, three of which came from the Club Satellite, two NFDL Key Clubbers and 29 family members/ significant others.    There was a 50/50 Raffle drawing this week and Dave Twohig was the lucky winner.  However, Dave wasn’t quite so lucky when he drew the Four of Spades, a non-winner.  The next drawing will be on Monday, December 30th when we’re back at the Retlaw Hotel.  That drawing will have 40 cards with eight pay cards and a pot of at least $166.

 Cardinal Singers

Twenty four members of the Fond du Lac High School Cardinal Singers joined us on Monday morning to entertain us with a wonderful selection of Christmas themed music.  The Cardinal Singers are a choral club that practices in off school hours and days. Typically the group practices before school begins and/or on Sundays. The Christmas programs that the Cardinal Signers do are mostly self-directed while the Spring Programs are directed by Cory Schneider, their faculty director. During the Christmas season the group does anywhere from 30 to 35 programs for local groups. The Cardinal Singers also do competitions, not so much for the awards, but for the experience of performing. The group travels to various competitions every other year outside of Wisconsin and has been quite successful. The Singers also do more than performances. They do numerous activities at the local elementary schools on a regular basis to instill the love of music at an early age.

Cardinal Singers’ Fond du Lads Stop by to Entertain

We had a smaller group of 15 members again at Monday’s meeting but 10 guests were also in attendance. Joining us was Sandra Smet from the VFW Auxiliary to accept a check for a Badger Girl State sponsorship, Cory Schneider from FDL High School Choral Department as our guest speaker, and eight Fond du Lads to entertain us. “Happy Bucks” were offered by Dave Twohig for coming from a 92 degree vacation back to ski with his family and also to return to his Kiwanis Family on Monday morning and Gary Miller for a cancer free visit to his dermatologist. Glen Treml was the 50/50 Raffle winner and he drew the Three of Clubs, not a winner. Next Monday’s game will have 32 cards, eight pay cards and a pot of at least $254.

They do numerous activities at the local elementary schools on a regular basis to instill the love of music at an early age. Cory brought along a sub-group of the Cardinal Singers, the Fond du Lads, who performed a couple of numbers for our group. The group is self-directed and is made up of a mix of seniors, juniors and sophomores. They were quite entertaining. The final piece of information that Cory left us with was a statistic that the Cardinal Singers carry a 3.6 average grade point. They are not only talented but smart as well.
