A Tribute to Veterans

Frances Hackley, Publicity Chair

The Robson Ranch Music Club proudly honors veterans every year with two performances by the Robson Ranch Community Choir. As you navigate around Robson, you are hard pressed to not run into a veteran. With nearly 600 veterans living here, it is easily a perfect place to show our thankfulness and pride with a Tribute Concert for Veterans. In fact, the Veterans Day Concert was the first concert the Robson Choir ever performed in 2004. Joe Arnett, a former Marine, was the director, then assisted by his wife Tawana. The tradition marches on to sing with reverence and pride on Veterans Day at Robson.

If you have never been to one of our Veterans Day Concerts, I implore you to come and join in the spirit, the pride, and the appreciation of our veterans. You will hear familiar patriotic tunes like “America, the Beautiful,” “God Bless America,” and “Battle Hymn of the Republic.” Along with these proud American staples, a wonderful mix of reverent songs will also be performed to reflect on those lost. One such reflective piece, “My Song in the Night,” speaks of trust and quiet assurance. Another stirring spiritual, “Peace Like a River,” flows, gently murmuring and gradually building to the solace of peace in one’s soul. The entire performance is designed to memorialize, reflect, and show appreciation to all veterans still with us and those lost.

Do come and be a part of this tribute and honor those who have served for all of us. The two performances are on Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tickets are available for $15 in the clubhouse from 9 to 11 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 23, and every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until Nov. 10, and on our website, rrmusicclub.com, via PayPal for $16 beginning Oct. 30 through Nov. 10. Veterans receive a free ticket.

It is Scary-Oke time! Come and join us for a frightfully good time. Costumes aren’t required, but having a bewitchingly good time is! Tickets are available via PayPal on our website, rrmusicclub.com, now through Oct. 25 and in the clubhouse every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday until Oct. 25, except for Oct. 11 and 13 when they will be sold at the CATC building.

Then on Nov. 5 from 3 to 5 p.m., we are hosting another Music Bingo! We had such fun the last time, folks were wanting to do it again. This time the theme will be Country Music! Get your boots and hats dusted off and come join the fun! Tickets will be $10 at the door, with open seating. A wine and beer cash bar will be available.

December brings to the Ranch our “Christmas at the Ranch” concerts on Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. and Dec. 17 at 4 p.m. This holiday concert shares songs that will boast the merriment and reason for the season!
