Eileen is a kind, very funny, generous, compassionate, thoughtful and much loved member of Aberdeen Chorus. Her contribution to chorus life over the years deserves all the recognition we can give her.
About Eileen
Eileen joined the chorus in January 1994. Over the years Eileen has sung bass in two quartets, Blue for You and Star Collection and now sings in an afternoon group of singers from Aberdeen Chorus called Silver Darlings. Another of Eileen’s talents is playing the ukulele in another small group from the Chorus.
Eileen has served on the Chorus team and of course the Region know her well from her days as Treasurer. She also organised the “medal party” every year, before Regional convention, and invited a group from Aberdeen Chorus around to her house for supper where they cut the ribbons and attached the medals to the correct ribbons for convention. Recently Eileen also took on the daunting task of scanning all the old Chorus scrapbooks going back to 1980, so that a Chorus history site could be constructed using the photos and newspaper articles.
At the moment Eileen collates all the regional dues for Region 31, keeping on top of payments and reconciling regional dues payments with international payments. On the Chorus’ return to live indoor rehearsals (no risers, masked etc) a Director’s Podium appeared in the rehearsal room. It turns out that Eileen had asked her husband, George, to build the Podium for our Director, Sophie, to stand on so we could all see her from wherever we were standing.
A big FAberdeen THANK YOU to Eileen for all the hard work and dedication she has given to the Chorus over the years. You’re simply the best!
