Practice Tip of the Week
Puzzle Pieces - Break a piece up into small parts, or puzzle pieces. Play each piece 7 times correctly. Then put the pieces back together and you have learned it very well with a minimal effort. This also makes it less overwhelming when you get a new piece to learn.
Quilt Raffle
This year Jan Brown graciously donated another hand-crafted quilt for us to raffle. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. The drawing will be at our Christmas Concert on Tuesday December 17th in the St Luke’s Sanctuary.
