RGC member Christmas party!

Just a reminder that this years' Christmas party for members will be at 12:30 (or so) on Saturday, December 8th at the Alpine Inn in Hill City. Be sure to save room for their delicious desserts!

Additionally, we'll be collecting care packages for Veterans as we've done every year. Suggested items are deodorant, lotion, socks, card games, sweets, movies...pretty much anything you think someone might like if they had to spend their Christmas at the Fort Meade Veteran's Hospital. The staff at the VA request that any items donated should not contain any alcohol (so no aftershave or mouthwash).

An afternoon of Brahms

Karen Psiaki, soprano singer, and Pianist James ('Jim') MacInnes will be presenting an afternoon of music by famed German composer Johannes Brahms.

Hailing from the Rapid City area, the talented duo share a love of German culture, and each of spent time in ther youth studying or working in Hamburg, the city where Johannes Brahms was born.

They are presenting a program of Brahms piano music and songs next Sunday afternoon in Rapid City at Tuscan square at 2:00pm.  Admission is $10 for adults, $5 for children 12 and under.

We would be delighted to share this music with as many German lovers as possible. The songs will be sung in German with translations and notes provided to make them understandable to all.

We hope to see you there!
