Our fundraising Queen Jean Dack has been given
the title – Surrey Harmony Superstar – the first
time the Chorus has given out what is to become an
annual award.
Jean was presented with the award at our 2007 AGM
by outgoing President Sarah Saysell. The winner will
get to keep for a year a beautifully engraved vase
which shows Surrey Harmony members in full voice.
Jean was presented with the award at our 2007 AGM
by outgoing President Sarah Saysell.
Sarah says
“Jean’s tireless efforts to raise funds for the
Chorus made her the obvious choice for the award.
She started our 400 Club to raise money for Las
Vegas and that is ongoing, and then she managed to
get us on the BBC TV series
Car Booty which has
helped raise some funds towards our new costume. Now
she’s talking about an Easter raffle – she never
stops!”
 The
vase was donated to the Chorus by Suzy Riley, mother
of baritone
Emma. It took Suzy around 48 hours of engraving
time with stunning results. It’s hard to believe
it’s just a hobby for her.
 Jean
was somewhat surprised to be our first Superstar,
but was thrilled to receive the award. “The vase
will have pride of place at home for the next 12
months” she said.
Each year the Board will decide which Chorus
member has made the biggest contribution over the
previous 12 months to earn the title Surrey Harmony
Superstar.
