Do you love singing \u2013 or even just listening to people sing? <\/p>\n
Do you love the music of Dolly Parton and admire her legacy of supporting children\u2019s literacy?<\/p>\n
If the answer is yes to both questions, you\u2019ll probably want to check out the next \u2018Choir Not Choir\u2019 event, Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. at Peninsula United Church White Rock, 15385 Semiahmoo Ave.<\/p>\n
According to Peninsula United\u2019s Tom Barichello, Choir Not Choir \u2013 which has already staged several events this year, including one during Pride Week \u2013 is a pop-up choral experience, with no auditions or experience required.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s all about the joy of making music together with coffee, tea and snacks at the end,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis (next) Choir Not Choir event will be celebrating the amazing songs from Dolly Parton\u2019s career.\u201d<\/p>\n
in memory of Parton\u2019s contributions to children\u2019s literacy, Barichello said, there will be representative from Sources Community Resource Centre that will be at the event \u201cif anyone attending wants to make a donation to the Imagination Library.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the Sources website notes, since 2010, Sources Imagination Library has inspired a love of reading in more than 1,600 children, delivering over 49,000 free books to young readers across Surrey and White Rock.<\/p>\n
With continued support, Sources can continue bringing the joy of books to children in our community and help reach even more families, the website adds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"White Rock choral pop-up salutes Parton Published 7:30 pm Friday, September 18, 2026 Do you love singing \u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":901412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-901411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=901411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/901411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/901412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=901411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=901411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=901411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
