Save the date for the Annual Christmas Party on December 10, 2017 at J.P. Hops House, 2317 S. Hwy 6, Houston, TX starting at 2:00pm-6:00pm. There is no critique session at this meeting. All HSA Members are invited along with their family and friends to help us celebrate this Holiday Season. There will be food and live entertainment for all to enjoy. HSA provides the ham and turkey, bread and rolls. We ask all members to bring a side-dish or dessert (of their choice) to complete a dinner menu. Drinks and sodas may be purchased at the bar. The entertainment is provided by “YOU”, so bring your musical instrument or sing a cappella!

Annual Awards will be given out at that time. There will be a “Vote Incentive Drawing” for four lucky members who participated in the 2017 Song of the Month Voting Process at least six times during the year. Since member participation has not increased over the last several years, this drawing will be discontinued.

We also have a “White Elephant” gift exchange. It’s a fun game. Anyone who brings an inexpensive musical, wrapped gift can participate. It can be a new gift, recycled gift, or whatever you have around the house that you no longer have use for (or never had use for).

Our new HSA 2017 CD Compilation which includes all of the Song of the Month winning songs will be available for purchase for $15 each. The CD will also include the winning song in the “Larry Englebretson Memorial Song Contest”. There were ten entries and we thank all who entered and hope to continue this contest in the future.

We sincerely thank everyone for participating at the monthly meetings, song critiques, song contests, workshops and helping to make HSA successful.
