| Society Staff Member Welcomes New Baby Girl!
A future Harmony Incorporated or Sweet Adeline member, perhaps? There's a good chance!
A big CONGRATS to one of Barbershop Harmony Society's Music Specialists, James Estes, and his wife, Elise who welcomed little Isabelle Juliette Rochon Estes into the world on 11/25 at 6:17pm. She is a healthy 20.5 inches long, and an 8lb. bundle of joy! Elise and "Belle" are doing great and thank everyone for their well wishes and encouragement throughout these past nine months.
CONGRATS AGAIN!
| Support Your Favorite Charity... FREE!
During this holiday season, when most people are financially spread too thin, Chase has made it possible for consumers to support their favorite charity FREE!
Chase is giving away $5 million to various charities and needs your help to pick which ones. Go to the Harmony Foundation website and click on Chase Community Giving in the lower, right corner (or you can click here for the direct link). Type in "Harmony Foundation International, Inc. (Nashville, TN)," then click that link when it shows up in the menu. You can even go the extra mile and persuade your friends and others on Facebook to do the same. It's that simple!
Deadline for the top 100 charities to receive $25,000 is December 11th, so hurry and get your vote in today!
Don't let this once in a lifetime opportunity pass without barbershopping and Harmony Foundation getting the recognition it deserves and needs with Chase Community Giving!

| Philadelphia Convention
Schedule Released
Contest sessions are ending earlier than in past years, allowing more time for singing and socializing! Click HERE to view the full schedule.
We've gotten requests for fewer overlapping events and more time to sing - your wish has been granted! The first major event will take place on Tuesday, which also allows some time at the end of each day to sing some tags and still get a good night's rest! Click here to read about it on the Society's blog.
Also, the Mighty River Harmony Chorus from Hamilton, NZ will represent the New Zealand Association of Barbershop Singers! The order of appearance had already been done prior to us receiving notification of their availability so they will open contest singing first. Congratulations to you and see you in Philly!
Register at our NEW PHILLY PAGE today!
| | Change of Plans for
Midwinter 2011
This news should actually make a lot of you quite happy! Many convention attendees have probably seen/filled out a convention survey - one of those questions is: In what city would you like to have a future Midwinter Convention? One of the most common answers (unsurprisingly) - Las Vegas, Nevada!
Good news for you Vegas lovers - it's happening! For more details as to the reasons for the change, and what's in it for you, go to the Society's Blog!
