Leslie and Geneva Reeves

Alumni of the choir based on Hinds Community College’s Raymond Campus are invited to a reunion, on Feb. 14-15, held on the Raymond Campus.

Because they inspired so much devotion, the reunion will salute Leslie and Geneva Reeves, former choral directors from 1956 to 1986. Although all former choir members are welcome to come, the focus, including featured music, will be on the Reeves and their legacy.

Attendees will gather for a complementary kick-off reception from 7-9 p.m., Friday, Feb. 14, in the lobby of Cain-Cochran Hall. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served.

On Saturday, choir alumni will be invited to gather and sing in Cain-Cochran Hall from 2-4 p.m., and perform an informal concert at 4:30 p.m. The concert is free and open to the public. A banquet honoring Geneva Reeves will be held at 6 p.m. in Mayo Gymnasium.

The dinner will benefit the Leslie and Geneva Reeves scholarship. Tickets may be purchased for $40.

For more information on the reunion, or to RSVP, contact Libby Posey at 601.857.3350 or email olivia.posey@hindscc.edu. For more information on Hinds Community College, visit www.hindscc.edu.
