There is also an accessible elevator entrance at the orange door at the south end of the building and this elevator opens downstairs right into the Assembly Hall.

Mailing List Management
We attempt to keep everyone informed but are loathe to annoy anyone with a weekly email update if they don’t wish to receive one. Thus, we’ve organized our contacts lists in the following manner:
Winter/Spring 2023 list: You’ve registered for this term and fully expect to participate. You’ll receive our weekly e-newsletter and perhaps a few other messages as the need arises. Your registration automatically includes you in this list.
Non-active e-newsletter list: You can’t participate this term but are interested in receiving the weekly newsletter so you don’t lose touch. Contact hamiltonsings@gmail.com
Alumni: You don’t anticipate returning but are still an avid supporter of our efforts and would like to occasionally hear from us regarding upcoming concerts, fundraising efforts, and possible volunteering opportunities. Contact hamiltonsings@gmail.com
Most importantly, you MUST remember that our priorities are fun, sound, and community. We welcome all voices to our very special place and look forward to meeting you!
Warm regards,
Hamilton Sings Community Choir (HS!CC)
