Ala. -- The popular Four Winds Barbershop Chorus will perform a

concert Thursday, Feb. 9, at Orange Beach United Methodist Church

to benefit the Christian Service Center.

"line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> The

concert will be preceded by a complimentary Snowbird Fellowship

Dinner.

"line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> 

"line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Chorus, a

combination of snowbirds and locals, began singing in 1994 with

seven members. Now 30-plus strong, the group performs December

through March under the leadership of Director Mack Stancil and

Assistant Director Dave MacDonald. Louie Lubahn, one of the

original members, says they practice twice a week and perform, or

“sing out”, once or twice a week during that

time.

"line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The chorus

members have been together a long time, and Louie joked that they

need some newer, younger members to help carry on the

tradition.

If

you are interested, please call Louie at 251-968-7399 or Jim Bero

at 920-826-7397.

"line-height: 150%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Dinner begins

at 6 p.m. and the concert begins at 7 p.m. Since there will be no

ticket sales, a “love offering” will be received. Orange Beach

United Methodist Church is located at 28751 Canal Road, Orange

Beach, AL 36561.
