What an exciting day for us today! Thanks to Lindsay McHolme, Rapidian reporter extraordinaire, we have our first Spanish language contribution.

The story is about the conception and ambitions of the only Spanish language community choir in Grand Rapids. In the past, Marjorie Kuipers, director of Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities (parent org of Cook Arts Center), has mentioned that they expect this to be very popular in the community.

Lindsay’s piece is especially wonderful as many households in neighborhoods surrounding Grandville Avenue are predominantly Spanish speaking, single-language homes. Here’s to helping them get the word out!
