Kildare Retired Teachers flat walking group in Emo Park and Dilly’s Wood, Co Laois today.

Great photos … looks like a very scenic walk!

 

Marian Ryan, NEC National Executive Committee (and Kilkenny Branch) introduced this idea at the recent Officers Conference in Dublin:

Raise Your Voice! Join the New RTAI National Singing Group!

Calling all RTAI members who love to sing!

The RTAI National Social Committee is excited to announce a brand-new initiative: a national singing group! We know that singing is not only a fun way to socialize, but also offers a wealth of benefits for our mental and social well-being.

This group is open to everyone, whether you prefer to sing solo or as part of a choir. Don’t let the word “choir” scare you off! This is a very informal setting with absolutely no musical expertise required.

Here’s how it works:
Up to 8 songs will be chosen for the group to learn.
You can choose to learn just the melody or individual parts. Music and parts will be emailed to all participants.
There will be a group meet-up on Saturday, March 22nd at 11:00 am. Location will be determined based on the geographical spread of interested members.
The day will consist of a morning rehearsal, a lunch break, and an afternoon singing session.

Whether we perform for an audience or just for ourselves is still to be decided!

How to Get Involved:
Spread the word to your fellow RTAI members!
Email rtainationalchoir@gmail.com to express your interest and receive the music.
We are thrilled to offer this opportunity for members across the country to come together, connect, and share their love of music. The songs learned can even be used in your local branch activities!
We’d also love to hear your ideas! Let the National Social Committee know about any other ideas you have for national meetups.
Let’s get singing!
Marian. N.E.C.
