Of chorus you should go to this

Mary Mamer and Jim Hoover

Party with the Oregon Coastal Aires and the Oregon Coast Chorus this Saturday, Dec. 14, with a free concert at the Newport Presbyterian Church to benefit Stone Soup Suppers and the Newport Food Pantry.

The two barbershop choruses are blending their Christmas songs under the direction of Jim Hoover and Mary Mamer. At the end of the singing party, join the choruses for hot chocolate and cookies and some fun “woodshedding," or more singing without a song list.

Stone Soup, whose mission is to serve a plentiful hot meal to anyone who doesn’t have food when they need it, will receive all the cash donations from the concert. Five volunteer teams from five Newport churches provide meals to the homeless and anyone who is hungry every Monday at St. Stephan’s Episcopal church in Newport. They have been averaging 130 meals per day.

Donations of non-perishable food will be accepted for the Newport Food Pantry, which provides enough food to last four to seven days for each family. 

The party starts at 2 pm at the Newport Presbyterian Church, 227 NE 12th Street. For more information, go to Oregoncoastchorus.org or call 541-961-3566.
