The Wisconsin State Journal had a small article earlier this month about the Christmas Concert. Dan Proud scanned it in, and here it is:

The Madison Maennerchor held its annual Christmas Concert & Dinner on Sunday December 9th at Turner Hall. Despite the snow and rain, we had approximately 200 in attendance for the concert, most of whom stayed for dinner. And of course, no MMC Christmas Concert would be complete without a visit from Sankt Nikolaus.

Thanks to all who helped make the concert and dinner a success: the set up and clean up teams, those who helped with the tickets, food and publicity, and anyone else that I’ve failed to mention.

We performed at 7:00 p.m. in the main auditorium. We sang some of our old favorites and finished with some Christmas songs. President Blatter presented our concert sponsor and retired MMC singer Dick Layman and his wife Gloria with a card and flowers in honor of their 60th wedding anniversary.

After the concert we adjourned to the dining hall and enjoyed sandwiches and Warsteiner beer. And of course we did a little more singing!

Thanks for inviting us Dick, and Happy Anniversary to you and Gloria!
