Community Chorus of Central Oklahoma will meet Monday, Jan. 13 at 7 p.m. at St. John Nepomuk Catholic Church, 600 Garth Brooks Blvd. in Yukon.

The group’s spring performance is set for May 15 and 18 and will be a tribute to first responders, survivors and victims of April 19, 1995, and in memoriam of all who have served and given their lives for our country.

No audition is necessary and there are no dues. Members come from many areas around the city.

Chairman Tom Manske and Vice Chairman Tracey Rider will continue serving in those positions for 2025 on the Board of Canadian County Commissioners.

Electing a chairman and vice chairman for the new year was the first task for commissioners at their Monday, Jan. 6 meeting. Commissioners typically rotate chairmanship, but Manske agreed to continue serving as chairman for a second straight year at Rider’s request.

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great Christmas. Now it’s time for a new year and a fresh start, or is it?
