On Saturday, December 22, at 7 pm, strains of peaceful
Christmas music and twinkling candlelight will illuminate the sanctuary
of the New Castle Congregational Church, 65 Main Street, New Castle, NH.
This 50-minute performance concert by the vocal duo, Sirens' Song, will
celebrate with soothing and reflective music of the season, including
familiar carols and lesser known songs and duets. In lieu of ticket charges,
donations will be graciously accepted at the door. Sirens' Song will be
joined by Barbara Flocco, pianist/organist of Stratham, NH and Dorothy Braker,
cellist, of East Kingston, NH.
Soprano Angelynne Hinson of Portsmouth, NH, and mezzo-soprano Melinda
McMahon of Durham, NH, are regionally acclaimed for their duo, Sirens'
Song. Touring Artists for the New Hampshire Council on the Arts, they are
known for their unique blend and varied programming. The duo will be
traveling to England in January 2008, performing in the historic churches
of the City of London.
Their debut performance led the Portland Press Herald to write that Sirens'
Song is "an impeccably matched duo with a brilliant, highly textured soprano
and an equally warm and luminous mezzo-soprano... ingeniously chosen repertoire."
Their debut CD, Mélange, has been lauded by the Portsmouth Herald as "classic
and beautiful...the voices and delivery are equally splendid. Hinson and McMahon
exude joy at their craft." For more information, contact Angelynne Hinson

Supper Club starts again this month on Wed. Oct 4th, 2006. The program is titled "The Hunger Project - Empowering Women and Men to End Their Own Hunger".
Our guest speakers this evening are Andy and Trudy Anderson, who moved to the Seacoast two years ago from Port Angeles, Washington so that Andy could take a job as a metallurgical engineer at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Trudy is a retired French professor. They moved here because they have a passion - supporting the effective work of the Hunger Project (THP). They volunteer joyfully to share this. They are eager to have people learn about this work and to help it be known and funded in this part of the world!
The Hunger Project is a global, strategic organization committed to the sustainable end of world hunger and poverty by uncovering the root causes of hunger and poverty and transforming those conditions so that people may be empowered to solve their problems and have lives of dignity. The highest priority in all activity is the empowerment of women. Women bear primary responsibility for family health, education and nutrition. The Hunger Project does not send food anywhere. It addresses the 92% of world hunger that does not make the headlines, but causes an estimated 20,000 deaths per day, mostly children.
With a modes annual budget of $10 million, THP reaches more than 22 million people in more than 10,000 villages in 13 countries around the world, Bangladesh, India, Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Senegal, Malawi, Uganda, Mozambique, Mexico, Bolivia and Peru. THP also recognizes the importance of the Millenium Development Goals, 8 major goals agreed upon by 190 nations for the planet by 2015. In every region where THP works, these goals are being realized.
Trudy and Andy will show video clips of the work around the world and are pleased to answer questions. Also they will invite you to learn more and also to attend the "Africa Prize" in New York City the weekend of Oct. 21-22, 2006. We invite you to visit the website: www.thp.org.
We gather in the Parish Hall at 6:30 p.m. for "social hour" and dinner begins at 7 p.m. Each person brings his or her own flatware and dishes. Bring a salad, an entree, or a dessert that feeds 8, to share. I guarantee you will enjoy Trudy and Andy's presentation.
