 ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT HOOVER MUSIC
I just learned on Tuesday that Hoover Music is closing mid January. This is very sad for me as a music teacher and performer. This store was my go to store and I ordered all of the PSHP music from them. They are working with me to ensure a good transition in the future. This was a five generation family music store that had been around for 107 years since 1912.  Their closing will be a huge loss to the Springfield Arts community. They currently are selling everything in their store for 25% off the regular price. Stop by and check out their inventory and to thank them for their service. Please be in prayer for Brian Hoover and the employees of Hoover Music as they make this hard transition.
Looking Ahead
Calendar Reminders:
1. Masquerade Costumes, in celebration of the New Year, are allowed on Friday, January 10. Be sure the costumes still meet the PSHP dress code.
2. The optional Federation Music Contest is Saturday, March 7 at Evangel University during the daytime. Deadline to sign up is Friday, January 17. Entry fee is $15 per event. Start planning your music now with your teacher.
3. Our PSHP Banquet has been rescheduled to Saturday, March 7 in the evening. Dinner at 6:00. Please let Kathy Love know if you would like to help cook the meals in the future. This is the Bradley’s last year and they would love to train someone this year!

Prayer Concerns
1. Angie Richardson and family as she is traveling to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas for her cancer treatment.
