Summer is the usual time for church choirs to take a vacation; thus, a number of churches have invited the Ladybirds and other groups to perform special music for their Sunday worship services. This summer has been no exception, and we have provided music for Park Place United Methodist Church and Frostburg United Methodist Church in the last several weeks. We still have on our agenda Central United Methodist Church and Frostburg Presbyterian Church.

We are so happy to report that Shirley Carson has been home from the hospital for just over a week now. She is doing quite well and hopes to return to regular rehearsals this coming week. She was very weak when she first got home and her friend Erma Robertson spent several nights with her; Shirley discovered early on that she could get up and to the bathroom on her own and that she could manage to get up and down the seven steps that separate her living room from the rest of her apartment. She has been going up and down those steps three or four times a day. That’s good exercise for her. Also, she plans to take her walker and go up to the grounds of the Red Cross, next door to her house, and do some walking to strengthen her leg muscles.
