Historical Society Presents Christmas Program
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
By Staff Report-
According to a release provided by the society, this year, they will present the Silvertones at 6:40 p.m. Dec. 8. in the Assembly Room at Timbercrest Senior Living Community, 2201 East Street, North Manchester.
There is no cost for the program, and all are welcome.
The Silvertones is a group of ladies who love to sing. They began in late 2010 under the leadership of Liz Hoffman Bauer. Bauer states that she organized the group because she has “always led a group” no matter where she lived, according to a press releasae.
The ladies range in age from the upper 60s to the upper 80s and come from all walks of life, including public school teaching and counseling, social work, real estate, farming and serving as a minister’s wife. Three of the Silvertones also sing with the Peabody Entertainers.
The Silvertones have mostly sung in church and chapel settings, but have also sung in community programs, a mother/daughter tea, and during the Funfest hymn sing.
The program in December will present secular and sacred Christmas music, and will include piano performances.
The Silvertones are Chris Beery, Lois Davis, Bea Knarr, Jeanette Lahman, Miriam Rusher, Jan Smith (accompianist), Liz Hoffman Bauer and Bonnie Dee Merritt (on hiatus). Ferne Baldwin will provide narration.
The public is also invited to a meal at 6 p.m., prior to the program. The menu is baked ham, potatoes au gratin, vegetable blend, Christmas Jello salad and pecan pie. For those who wish to attend the dinner, reservations must be made no later than noon Dec. 5. The cost of the meal is $8.50. Reservations may be made by calling Evelyn at 260-982-6777, Mary at 260-982-1813 or the Center for History at 260-982-0672.
