OFFICES COLLABORATE TO SPONSOR GOSPEL WORKSHOP
The Office of Multicultural Affairs, Opportunity Programs and the Chaplaincy are sponsoring a Gospel Workshop on November 14-16, 2002.

The workshop will include a Thursday dinner, a Friday evening rehearsal, a Saturday morning rehearsal and an evening concert followed by a reception. If you are interested in attending this workshop, please reserve a space by forwarding an e-mail to mdavid@hamilton.edu. If singing gospel music is not your forte, feel free to come out anyway and enjoy the concert.
