Hello.  I joined a local community choir last semester and am loving it!  This year, we are performing Handel's Messiah for the Christmas season.  This is the first time I've sung it, but with much practice, I am getting pretty good.  It's such a powerful moving piece.  I met the leaders of The Messiah Project there who informed me they are planning a trip to take singers to Halle, Germany in February to sing in their yearly production of this piece.  I signed up, not quite knowing where the money will come from, but realizing this is such an opportunity for me.  I have been longing to travel to Europe but have always been short on funds and overwhelmed by the process of planning it.  This way, I would be going with a group I trust and also participating in such an inspiring production.  If you would like to help me in making this happen, I would be incredibly grateful.  Thank you!
