Sweet Adelines International 75th Jubilee Commemorative Album

Does it sometimes appear to you, as it does to me, that the weeks go by so very rapidly there is scarcely time to stop, appraise our achievements, make plans for the work yet to be done, take a deep breath, and commence again? –Garee Rogers, International President (1962-1964)

West Suburban Chapter of Berwyn, Illinois (USA)

Why I Sing

My parents were barbershop singers, and my first Sweet Adelines quartet was singing with my mom. I met my husband, David, through barbershop. We raised our three children in the hobby and now our grandchildren are involved. We are four generations who grew up with harmony in our home. We are comfortable in front of people of all ages; it has provided us with leadership skills and built a sense of community through our chorus friendships. Friends and family — that’s what barbershop and Sweet Adelines International has given to me. —Sandi Wright, Region #5, member since 1969
