In Memoriam

Heart of New Jersey Chorus was saddened to hear of the passing of longtime past member, Pat Reynolds, on February 1st, after a long illness.  Pat was a Sweet Adeline for nearly (or over) 60 years.  HONJ was her last chorus, where she was a member along with her sister, Ginny Cebello.  Pat sang Bass when she was with us, but had sung Baritone in several choruses before joining us.  In heart she remained a baritone, and would often slip into the bari notes when we informally sang the older songs at our holiday parties or post competiton celebrations!  With at least one chorus, she competed on

Our First Virtual Retreat

Heart of NJ is proud to announce that we had our first ZOOM Retreat on February 5th and 6th, 2021!  We are fortunate to have had two fabulous coaches with us. On Friday evening, Kathleen Hansen imparted some valuable information on vocal production.  On Saturday morning, Jennifer Cooke taught us some of her wonderful tags, in addition to some great techniques to use on our musical journey.

In the afternoon, a few of us attended some of two-time Queen, Karen Breidert's afternoon classes at the Region's Leadership Day forum.

In Memoriam: Michie Palaia
It is with a heavy heart that we inform the region of the passing of our beloved member, Michie Palaia. She left this world on September 10, 2020, after a year-long battle with cancer. We will always remember her beautiful smile and rich bass voice. Mostly, we will forever cherish her loving, generous heart and caring, thoughtful nature. Michie always had a kind and encouraging word for everyone, even as she was dealing with her own devastating illness.

Around the Region

Heart of NJ came home from 2019 Regional Convention on a "high note" with our 2nd Place Division A medals!

In May, we installed our 2019-2020 Management Team Members at a celebratory dinner at the home of member Laura Krajewski.

On Memorial Day, we were priviledged to perform at Hazlet's Memorial Day Dedication Ceremony, as we have been for several years.  It is always an honor to be able to do this for our fallen servicemen and women.
