We are always happy to have new people come and be a part of our choir. You do not have to be a famous opera singer. You only need to enjoy music and like to sing.

Problems sending to Yahoo.Com addresses

We keep a large list of email addresses that we use to let everyone know about English Conversation and other activities.

After the Welcome Party we added many new addresses - including several @Yahoo.Com email addresses.

All of our emails to Yahoo.Com addresses were returned. We are working to find out why. One hypothesis is that Yahoo.Com thinks these emails are spam. If that is the problem - and it might not be - we will try to figure out another way of sending emails to people with Yahoo.Com addresses.
