LAKE TOWNSHIP COMMUNITY CHOIR
In 2016, The Bicentennial Year, our Township formed a community choir that sang under the big tent at the Uniontown Lions Club Festival as a part of the Community Hymn Sing. This has become a tradition that we hope will continue for years to come.This year the choir will be under the direction of Marti Steiner with help choosing the music by John Lauby, and helping to organize will be Barb Miller, Rosie Vadasz, and Ruth Sturgill. Practice will be at The Cornerstone Community Church 1250 Edison St. N.W. Hartville on July 25, August 1 and August 8 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The choir will sing as a part of the Community Hymn Sing on August 18 at 6:30 pm in the Big Tent, at the Uniontown Lions Festival behind the Hartville Market Place. Please come and add your voice to the choir. Let’s make it the biggest and best one yet. For more information, call Rosie Vadasz 330.877.3780 or Ruth Sturgill 330.877.2625.
