Bloomington Chapter Sweet Adelines

The Bloomington Chapter of Sweet Adelines joined Sweet Adelines International in 1952 and

were known as Midwest Gateway #5. They entertained at civic events charitable functions,

contests and shows. Membership came from different occupations and ages. All shared a love of

singing and commitment to advancing barbershop education and harmony.

Membership is worldwide, from Australia to Canada, and all fifty of the United States. We are

proving that the four parts of barbershop harmony-lead, tenor baritone and bass-are suited to

women’s voices and provide a natural range for nearly all.

The Chorus Cues newsletter kept Msidwest Gateway Region #5 members up to date locally as

well as internationally.

This collection includes copies of Chorus Cues from 1999 to 2001 as well as recruiting

brochures. There are also Board Meeting minutes and Financial Position papers. The

Bloomington chapter goal setting results are included along with revitalization programs. There

are legal documents and charter dissolution and International Charter-at-Large, as well as

miscellaneous
