Sweet Adelines International 75th Jubilee Commemorative Album

• The first SING e-zine was published in July 2004 as a monthly communication tool for our members and provided International updates, information, and reminders at the beginning of each month. • At the October 2004 International Board of Directors meeting, the Board approved a new membership category: Member-at-Large, a membership for Sweet Adelines who still love to sing, but do not want to actively compete with a chorus or quartet. • A recipe for Singer’s Tea — to help singers who lose their voices during allergy season, contest season, or nearly anytime of the year — was provided to the masses by international faculty member Darlene Rogers in the January 2005 issue of The Pitch Pipe. The recipe has become legendary, and can be found online with a simple Google search.
