Bentonville Orchestra Valentine Performance

Bentonville Orchestra is thrilled to present two phenomenal groups in one deliciously romantic evening of music for your Valentine's enjoyment on February 10, 2011 at 7:30.

Nate Robinson is a violinist of the highest esteem and acclaim. He has performed in such venues as Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center and collaborated with Sting and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Nate is a graduate of Yale University where he worked closely with the late renowned violinist and protege of Jascha Heifetz, Erick Friedman. Mr. Robinson currently resides in New York City.

Paired with Nate is another not-to-be-missed group, the Alianza String Quartet. Described as “a showstopper” (Columbia [Mo.] Daily Tribune), “among the best in the USA” (President of the American Academy of Arts and Letters), “a group of tremendous vision and integrity” (Clive Greensmith, cellist, Tokyo String Quartet), the Alianza String Quartet are lending their aid to the students in our orchestra programs.

All Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Bentonville Orchestras in the Bentonville School District and will be used for scholarships, educational programs, and equipment purchases. The Orchestra programs are truly one of the jewels of Northwest Arkansas and a great credit to our area. In attending this concert, you will not only be treated to a Carnegie-Hall worthy recital from top level musicians, you will also be bolstering music for 550+ students.

The event is being hosted by the Bentonville Orchestra Boosters, a 501C organization which is the Booster Club for the Bentonville Orchestras. Ad space for the program is available (click on images below for more information) and tickets will be $18.00 for adults and $8.00 for students and can be purchased online at http://www.heartstrings.eventbrite.com/

Block of the Month

Dear Sisters,
It is that time again and we WILL begin our Block of the Month sewing project! It will be Thurs. Jan. 27 at 9am in the morning at the Centerton church.
I cannot tell you how much material you will need as we are not following any one project; we will turn it into one, though!
So, as a rough estimate: choose 1-1 1/2 yds of about 6 coordinating fabrics. Each square will be a 12" block when you are through
OR, you can use up all scraps you have and make a true "scrap quilt".
This will be fun, it should not take a very long time as we will only work on 1 square each month.
Here is an example of one of the squares we will be making: The Contrary Wife Block
Come enjoy making other blocks with titles like: Arkansas Crossroads
Betty's Delight
Chimney's and Cornerstones
Ohio Star and much, much more!
Any questions? Contact Leslee Lai, laijiating@hotmail.com

Ward Talent Show

Just a reminder about our upcoming Talent Show activity. It is scheduled for 22 January from 6:30 – 8:00 PM. It is being held at the Centerton building. Each family is asked to bring a plate of goodies to share for our dessert bar. If you have already signed up you will be receiving an email from me to give you all of the specifics about performing. If you want to still sign up please email me or call me with you info and talent you want to perform. There will be a gallery display for those wishing to display their talent. The girls will take turns being in charge of that room to protect the items from roaming children and hands. If you are not performing please come out for an evening of fun and bonding with your fellow ward family. This should be a really fun night. Look forward to seeing you there.
