North Manchester Historical Society to host an evening of Christmas music
On Dec. 13, the community is invited to an evening of Christmas music as a way for the North Manchester Historical Society to thank the community for their interest and support. A dinner will be served at 6 p.m. in the Timbercrest Assembly Room. Contact Carl for reservations at 260-982-2216 or Evelyn at 260-9826777. Call by noon on Dec. 10. The program begins at 6:40 p.m. and is free to the public. Everyone is welcome. In 1974, three volunteer women, Becky Waas, Hazel Keller and Eunice Brightbill, were working as a committee to establish activities for the residents of Timbercrest. They determined a need for an outlet of singing together in three or four part harmony. Many of the residents had participated in community or church choirs prior to their move to Timbercrest, and they felt some people would enjoy this activity. Becky Waas served as the first director. The people sang for their own enjoyment but were also available for programs and worship opportunities that happened at Timbercrest. When the position of director of activities was established, the choir continued. Marlin Brightbill took over the director’s position. He served in this capacity until his final illness. Mary Coe filled in for Marlin when he was hospitalized and was asked to continue after his death. She is the current director. The choir has a varied repertoire of sacred and secular music. They have, in past years, participated in combined choir experiences with several other Senior Living Centers. The choir members are all current members of the Timbercrest family. Wanda Miller serves as their accompanist. The average age of its members is somewhere within the senior citizen range. The biggest joy is the making of music together for the enrichment of the family living at Timbercrest and other friends.
