Crosstown members new and old get together for a end of year holiday celebration. We reflected on our accomplishments, enjoyed some delicious food and drinks, played a few games, exchanged gifts, laughed and of course, we sang. This year we even held a supply drive for the Sojourner Family Peace Center. What better way to celebrate the holiday season than with 40 of your closest friends!
The Milwaukee W.O.W Club (Widowers of War) was founded in 1972 to offer friendship to those who have lost a spouse. Their families paid the ultimate price for our freedom and Crosstown Harmony Chorus is honored to have been invited back to perform for them. Even one of our own members is a member of the group!
If you are interested in joining W.O.W. please visit their website for more information. http://milwwowclub.info/

Crosstown Harmony brought lots of Christmas cheer to the Burlington Christmas Parade & Tree Lighting Ceremony Friday, December 1st.
This year’s parade theme was a “Who-Ville Christmas in Burlington." The event was full of sweets, happiness, and fantastical floats that glided through the historic downtown, and Crosstown Harmony was there carolling the streets before the parade to get everyone in a festive mood.
WOW what a turn out! Thank you to everyone who came out to see our musical tribute to the armed forces, and to everyone involved in putting the show together. Crosstown Harmony Chorus and member quartets hope you enjoyed your afternoon of music, won a few Raffle baskets, and partook in some delicious desserts and beverages. Most of all, thank you to all our service members who attended and to all those that serve this great country. We owe you are freedoms and appreciate your sacrifices.

Crosstown members and supporters had a great time preparing pizzas for our semi-annual Pizza Fundraiser! A Crosstown Harmony Pizza is like music for your taste buds. The crunchy, crisp crust crackles a tune, the tangy sauce sings, the toppings make a sweet melody and the cheese strings the cords together into a masterpiece of pizza!
