Meet the MelloMacs

The MelloMacs Committee supports social and singing events at MAC by hosting weekly choir rehearsals and performances in the community. Chorus members regularly share music and laughter with residents of the Veterans Affairs Medical Center and assisted living communities with sing-alongs of favorite songs and stories about the composers. They also give their time and energy at MAC for movie sing-alongs and holiday events.

Whether hosting potluck parties or a karaoke session at Goose Hollow Days, putting on the annual Spring Sing-Along, or enjoying happy hour in the Sports Pub, the social connections and friendships made through song have remained strong, even during the past year of physical distancing.

Directed by professional musician and arranger Gus Pappelis, the choir provides suggestions for musical selections, reflecting the wide range of interests found in all MAC members. Auditions and pre-registration are not required to attend Monday night rehearsals — only a love of singing and the team spirit that comes from creating four-part harmony.

The singing season begins with an open rehearsal at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 13, in the Ainsworth/Lownsdale room. See page 36 for more information, or contact ajohnson.chair@themac.com.
