A free-will offering taken at the Dec. 10 LOLC concert yielded a donation total of  $2,500 to the local Circle of Love Center.  The total also included a large contribution from the local chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans.

The concert was presented by Music Director Brad Rudisail and the Lake Oconee Lutheran Choir, in addition to guest soloist Stefana Greene from Greene County High and Graeme Brook, guitarist from Putnam County High. Two other choir members performing solo selections were Dana Beck and Donna Hansen. Charlie Helms led one selection with guitar, along with Virginia Daley on accordian. Kris Proper provided an organ selection and Brad Rudisail played piano solos and accompaniment for the choir and soloists.

The audience enjoyed their participation, joining the choir and instrumental music on several numbers.

Volunteer members of the LOLC congregation set up a wonderful buffet of refreshments, which was provided to a large audience of concert-goers following the concert.
