Pauline embodies everything that this organisation stands for. She is the most reliable person one could ever come across and you can count on her for almost anything. This year alone she organised the chorus in a way that has made their lives richer and a lot easier. She organised the retreat weekend to a local hotel, ringing around every hotel you could imagine until she found the best deal. She also made sure everyone were adequately fed and watered the entire time.
Pauline joined Milltown Sound in July 2013. She quickly became the life and soul of the chorus by being there for everyone. She works hard to do what needs to be done, she makes sure everyone feels loved and appreciated.
Pauline was given the task of finding a place for the chorus to eat after the show on the Saturday of convention. Within days she had it booked and had menus to choose from by the next rehearsal! The hotel where the chorus was staying has nowhere to rehearse on the day of contest so Pauline made sure they have a rehearsal room at The Sage, negotiating carefully to ensure they have adequate time and space to warm up.
Pauline is also “Mrs Gift Giver”. Not only does she organises birthday cards but has also given everyone in the chorus car window stickers and a Milltown Sound pen. She has also provided a beautiful trophy to be awarded annually to the “Millie of the Year”.
Pauline is waiting for a knee replacement. She struggles to stand for long periods but this does not stop her coming to rehearsal week in, week out. She is the heart of Milltown Sound.
