May I take this opportunity to wish all members and their families a very Happy Christmas.
To morrow Christmas Eve, MPR via their Subsidiary will broadcast live the Festival of None Lessons and Carols from Kings College Cambridge, at 9.00 AM central standard time. This broadcast is made available world wide by the BBC.
You may want to tune in to your local public radio station, which will likely be carrying it. Or you can stream it from NPR.org.

The service takes place in Cambridge England at 3.00 pm GMT.
The Service will start as a treble chorister, who does not know he will be called, is selected by the director of music Stephen Cleobury, as the red broadcast light comes on. He will sing the the first verse of Once in Royal David's City. The choir will process in. When they are in the choir stalls the huge Harrison and Harrison organ will make its first entry.
The service comes to an end as the sun sets though the beautiful stained class West Window and the organ fellow Plays Bach's variations on in Dulci Jubilo.
A very Merry Christmas to you all.
