Otterbein University Concert Choir and Hosting Opportunity
All are invited to the Otterbein University Concert, hosted by Sara Potts at her church (Sharonville UMC) on Friday, 12/07/18 at 7:30 p.m. It will be a lovely concert and it's FREE! Take a close look at the middle of the photo on the poster and you may see a familiar face – Samantha Stacy '14 graduated from Otterbein last May, but she made the poster.
Hospitality opportunity: If you are interested in hosting Otterbein students for a homestay that evening, it simply involves taking 2, 3 or 4 students home for the evening, letting them sleep somewhere comfortable, providing a shower and some breakfast, then returning them to Sharonville UMC on Saturday morning. Homestays are always one of the best parts of college choir tours, which provide some great connections and sometimes even greater stories! Please let Sara Potts know if you would be willing to host!

Congratulations to sixth grader Caroline Blair who is cast in Cincinnati Ballet's production of The Nutcracker (Party Boy) this season. Caroline was one of only a dozen or so students who made it from programs outside of the Cincinnati Ballet and she credits her experience at CHCA Dance Academy, and the support of the CHCA dance family for that. Initially her family chose the dance program for her as a way for her to meet other students in kindergarten. As Caroline has grown more passionate about dancing, it has become a huge blessing to the whole family, who wish to thank Melissa Kidd, Judy McCreary, and Teresa Hoyer for being mentors to Caroline. Come out and support Caroline at one of the following Nutcracker performances: 12/15/18 at 2:00 p.m., 12/16 at 6:30 p.m., 12/20 at 7:30 p.m., 12/21 at 7:30 p.m., 12/22 at 2:00 p.m., 12/23 at 6:30 p.m., and 12/24 at 1:00 p.m. For tickets and more information, click here.
