Congratulations to our very own Toula Oberlies!!
(Thanks to Cindy S for seeing this on Facebook.)
On June 2, 2023, Sweet Adelines International President Thérèse Antonini presented the 2023 President’s Lifetime Achievement Award to Toula Oberlies.
Toula joined Sweet Adelines in 1974 and over subsequent years has served in multiple roles at every level of the organization, from service to her beloved Capital City Chorus through her dedication to Harmony Heartland Region 4 to her sustained commitment at the International level. She has been instrumental in the success of philanthropy within Sweet Adelines, both as a donor and most impressively in her decades-long commitment to young singers.
“Those of us who have benefited from Toula’s organizational service have a common experience with Toula – she finds a way to help every time she is asked,” said President Antonini. “While her service record is extensive and impressive, it is perhaps the impact she has had on the individual members of the organization that makes her most deserving of this award. So many members have memorable stories to share about their interactions with Toula. Some stories are funny, some joyful, some poignant, but all have a common foundation – one of support and generosity of spirit.” #sweetadelines

Ms. Shea Shea, Triad A Cappella Connection's very own stand up comedienne extradordinaire, rolled out the chorus' annual pecan fundraiser after the ladies' performance at Homestead Hills community in Winston-Salem, NC . "This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, "says Carol Cherwaty, TAC's Financial Coordinator. The chorus relies heavily on the proceeds from this fundraiser and this year they need all the help they can get to keep bringing our music to audiences young and old throughout the Triad area. Once you taste these pecans you'll realize it's no great burden to participate by buying these fresh nuts. Mascot Pecan Company sells us freshly harvested pecans each fall and you can taste the difference between these and supermarket pecans. Be sure to buy enough for candied pecans, pecan pies, sweet potato casserole and pralines because the family will gobble these down as fast as they can get their hands on them. Here are some great recipes in case you run out of ideas before you run out of pecans! Taste of Home Pecan Recipes (Please hold your Shift Key when you click to open a new browser window.)
