[Ponte Alto] Alle Psallite

[Jessica Wilbur]

Greetings!

Much as I would like to sing again, my schedule is full enough that 
I don't think I'd be able to make it on a weekly basis. But I'm really 
glad to see that Alle Psallite is starting up again! I hope a fresh 
start will keep things going.

Thanks!
