Group singing is good for you! Research finds that among the benefits of ensemble singing are "a greater feeling of togetherness" and the "boosting of oxytocin levels, which help control stress and anxiety." We agree!

We're over 80% there--just $400 to go to meet our $2500 fundraising goal by 12/31 (today!). Your donations ensure WHCS remains free, robust, & that we can plan for the future. Help us cross the finish line strong; a contribution in any amount truly helps! https://t.co/K7TkpjadZJ
