Conductor Comments:      Spring 2010

Awaiting latest remarks and report.

Noel Fulkerson, Artistic Director


President’s Corner:      Spring 2010

          A new year is upon us.  It is amazing to me how fast the time passes.  Some of you still do New Year’s resolutions, I’m one of those who have the same one from year to year, and that is to be the best I can be and to glorify my Creator to the best of my ability.  Easier said than done, I know.

          With the coming of this year, I have assumed the role as your President, Dennis Fuhrman is your new Vice President, and Dick Beissenherz has accepted the role as Secretary.  I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Harold as past President, Noel for putting up with us, and all who make it possible for us to do what we do.  I look forward to continuing my association with all of you.

          As the mantle of responsibility has passed from Harold to myself as your President, I can only say that I continue to be humbled to be associated with such a group of men as yourselves.  Your dedication and commitment to our cause has reached into the lives of many people, including my own.  To date, we have raised $128,000 plus for the use of local charities.  That is no small task and each one of you deserves to be recognized and applauded for this.

          For what no one person can do, collectively we have made a difference.  If anyone has a question concerning our finances, contributions, or other money matters, please see Ken Schnell.

          At our last board meeting, we discussed the idea of a membership committee.  It is my desire that this be accomplished and so I am asking for two members of the chorus along with one board member facilitating as chair.  Anyone interested in serving in this manner please contact Dennis or myself.

          Also, there are some who go above and beyond to further our ministry in becoming a patron.  Anyone interested in joining in that, please see Cliff Jones.

          Lastly, I feel that there are exciting things waiting for us in this New Year.  We can go as far as we want to go.

          It is my privilege to be a member of this chorus.

          May the Creator of all, continue to bless each one is my prayer for all of you.

Let music live.  Peace.

Jim Parcel, President

Why Sing!

  • Singers are more immune to disease, are healthier and have more positive attitudes than the average American.

  • Singing is the most popular leisure time activity.  There are more that 12,500 groups like ours in the United States.

  • Singers are more prone to support other fine arts events and to support those in need more often than other institutions.

Members Needed

The KCMMC is always on the “lookout” for new members.  We have about 130 members on the rolls with 85 signed and paid and with about 70 singing each performance.  We would like to build our membership to where we would sing 100 men at every performance.

You are the vital part in our search for members.  If every one of us would recruit one member, we would more than meet our goal.  All that is needed is an invitation.  Invite a fellow singer to join us.

If you need CD’s or membership material, call Dick Schroeder (816.358.2086).  He’s ready to help get those members signed up.  Thanks for your help.
