Please join the CAM-PLEX Heritage Center staff for the presentation of Six Vocal Ensemble on Thursday, May 2, 2013 at 7:00 p.m. Although a relatively new player in the world of music, it has not taken long for Six Vocal Ensemble to leave their mark. Building upon the inspiration from such groups as Rajaton, The King’s Singers, and The Real Group, Six has charted a unique path, combining choral, pop, world, and folk influences, surprising audiences everywhere with the versatility and blend of their voices. To categorize their genre is difficult; to experience their music is indescribable. The members of Six come from entirely different musical backgrounds. In its inception, Six came together as a group of opera and rock singers, jazz
artists and choral traditionalists. From amidst this diversity a common goal has seamlessly forged a unified and surprisingly unique a cappella sound. New and returning audiences alike are left constantly amazed at the musical possibilities of the human voice. As the group continue to develop, each member brings different strengths, adding to the complexity that makes Six Vocal Ensemble. This diversity allows the group to explore many genres of music, while retaining in each style the power of a synchronized, well-blended ensemble. In 2010, Six released their debut CD, Swept Away, beautifully showcasing their ability to create a diverse body of work. Amidst the explosion of pop a cappella music in the mainstream media, it is this album, featuring entirely
original works and arrangements, that sets Six apart. This album is the first of its kind in Canada has been tremendously well received, reaching audiences in North America and Europe . As a result, six has been featured many times on CBC Radio, and have been invited guests to world-renowned music festivals. This success has led to a continually growing audience and an opportunity to perform throughout the country.

Governor traveling to Middle East to boost support for UW and explore trade opportunities Governor Matt Mead heads to the Middle East tomorrow. He will meet with international companies about Wyoming energy resources and the University of Wyoming. “This trip provides an excellent opportunity to meet with companies interested in research being done at the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources,” Governor Mead said. “The School of Energy Resources’ reputation is growing and
this is a good way for us to promote UW as a global leader in energy research and education.” Governor Mead also hopes to build on a positive trend. Last year Wyoming had the 7th highest growth rate in exports of any state in the country. Wyoming’s increase was 17% between 2011 and 2012. “I believe it is important to increase exports from Wyoming to overseas markets. The Legislature shares this
perspective and built this initiative into the supplemental budget. I am hopeful that the contacts we make will build opportunities for more international exports,” Governor Mead said. He will land in Dubai and visit business leaders in the area. Governor Mead’s trip will be paid for with nonstate dollars. He returns to Wyoming late on April 12th.
Local Lions Club’s largest fundraiser to date is expecting huge benefits for Colorado and Wyoming By Preston Fayas With so many people in need of assistance in our communities, a local Lions Club chapter has decided to do something about it. On May 18th, the Sunrise Lions Club will be holding a huge raffle giving away five Harley Davidson Motorcycles and a Honda Big Red MUV. All proceeds from the raffle will directly benefit local Colorado and Wyoming charities, focused primarily on helping those with visual impairments. The Lions Club is the world largest service club organization with over 1.35 million members and over 46,000 clubs internationally. This organization has always made it a pri-
ority to help those with visual impairments, but have recently expanded into other service areas as well. The Sunrise Lions Club is a local Chapter based out of Cheyenne, Wyoming. They focus all of their effort in helping people in Northern Colorado and Wyoming. This Raffle will be the largest charity event to date for this chapter and organizers are extremely excited about the prospect of being able to raise much needed funds. “We knew this would be a huge undertaking for our small club, as we have never done anything this big, but the potential revenue that we can generate for charity is well worth the
effort” says Michael Swilling, Event Organizer and Lions Club Member. If all goes to plan, this raffle could raise as much as $100,000 to donate to helping local citizens. Half of all profits will go to the Allen H. Stewart Lions Camp, which is a summer camp for visually impaired youth to help them learn and gain independence. The other half of proceeds will go to local projects such as housing project, helping injured military, and other visual aid needs of the community. Tickets are $100 each, with a Buy 2, get 1 FREE promotion. People can find out more details and purchase tickets at www.BikerLion.com
