WCLV MEDIA SPONSOR OF TEE OFF ON LEUKEMIA

WCLV is the media sponsor of the 4th annual Tee Off on Leukemia, to be held September 25, 2010, at Barrington Golf and Country Club in Aurora.

WCLV and the organization hope to support new victories for the thousands of children and adults diagnosed with blood cancer each year. With your help, we can find better treatments and effective cures. Join us for golf and you will meet a blood cancer champion from Northeast Ohio, or purchase a ticket for dinner and live and silent auctions in which you can bid on everything from trips to golf merchandise to locally created art.

Auction Form 2010

All proceeds will benefit the Meredith A. Cowden Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit that provides funding to the Northern Ohio Chapter of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, as well as research to aid in the cure of blood cancers and of the effects of treatment. Your help is needed more than ever. Cancer does not stop because of difficult economic times. Famiies and patients who are afflicted with the terrible mental and physical devastation caused by blood cancer cannot give up their fight, and we're not giving up either!

HOLY TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH WINS GRAND PRIZE AT THE WCLV JUBILATION CHURCH CHOIR FESTIVAL

On Thursday, May 20, and Friday, May 21, 2010, WCLV and the Cathedral of St. John presented the 2010 Jubilation Church Choir Festival to capacity live audiences and an extensive live radio audience. The grand-prize-winning choir was the Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Choir of Akron. The director is Barbara MacGregor. The Choir took home a check for $1000 and the Jubilation trophy. The five remaining finalists were:

• St Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral Choir of Parma, Anna Keller, Director
• Faith United Church of Christ of Richmond Heights, Mary Ober, Director
• Cuyahoga Falls United Presbyterian Church Choir, Anthony Bianchi, Director
• St. Joseph Church Senior Choir of Avon Lake, Lorene Coughlin, Director
• St. Sebastian Parish Choir of Akron, Lyn Frey-Steward, Director

The finalist choirs received checks for $500 and commemorative plaques.

The three distinguished judges were former Cleveland Orchestra Chorus conductor Robert Page, former Mormon Tabernacle Choir conductor Jerold Ottley, and Director of Choral Activities at Ohio University Peter Jarjisian.

	L to R: Elizabeth Stuart, creator and producer of Jubilation; air host Lloyd Newell; judge Peter Jarjisian; judge Robert Page; judge Jerold Ottley; WCLV president Robert Conrad; WCLV general manager Jenny Northern.
For the third year, the host of the live broadcasts was Lloyd Newell, the voice of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir programs.
	There were special encore performances. On Thursday night, last year's Jubilation Grand Prize winner, Westlake United Methodist Church, was led by director Andy Call. On Friday night, while the judges were deliberating, the Euclid Avenue Congregational Church Chancel Choir and director Timothy Robson performed. The Euclid Avenue Congregational Church recently suffered a fire which completely destroyed the building, and the Choir lost all of its music and instruments. A freewill offering during the Choir's presentation was donated to the Euclid Avenue Church. And we understand that one of the finalist choirs gave their $500 check to the Euclid Choir. The finalist choirs were judged on their technical ability, their musicality, and their work as an ensemble. Photo by Dan Kelley.
