Admission is $7, free for children age 12 and under.
Tickets can be purchased from any Sweet Adelines member or at Knapp’s Music Center, 51 Main St. in Bangor. Tickets also will be available at the door, and refreshments are free.
The organization’s chosen charity for this season is Spruce Run, the domestic violence agency serving Penobscot County. Representatives of the agency will be at the show with information about the organization and its programs.
Sweet Adelines member Gloria Hodgdon reports the show, featuring music from the 1940s and ’50s, will include quartets and ensembles, and a special guest appearance by Renaissance, female singers from the University of Maine in Orono.
You also will have the opportunity to meet the new chorus director, Mary Anne McFadden, a transplanted Californian and fellow Sweet Adelines member who competed internationally with the 130-member Pacific Empire Chorus and recorded several CDs with Anima Schola, a liturgical music group based in Connecticut.

In recognition of October as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Maria Staples of Penquis Community Action Program wants to be sure that our readers know about a “great program” that is being offered by Penquis CAP’s Breast Health Resource Initiative.
The program is available “to help women in Piscataquis County get the care they deserve,” Staples wrote.
“The objective of the program is to increase access to breast cancer screenings, pay for the screening services for women who qualify, and provide education and information to increase awareness of breast health and the importance of family history in determining breast cancer risk.”
Women in Piscataquis County between the ages of 28 and 64 who do not have health insurance, or who have insurance that does not cover mammograms, should call Staples at 973-3586 or Izzy Warren at 564-2847 “to see if you qualify” for the program, Staples wrote.
Women age 40 to 64 who do not live in Piscataquis County, have little or no health insurance, and who meet certain income guidelines can learn more about programs that could help provide free mammograms and Pap tests by contacting the Maine Breast and Cervical Health Program, (800) 350-5180.
Staples also reminds readers that since National Breast Cancer Awareness Month was initiated in 1985, “mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older, and breast cancer deaths have declined.”
To continue that trend, detecting the disease in its earliest stages is necessary.
