Tonic Solfa:  Despite flooded Iowa roadways, the nationally recognized four member a cappella group, Tonic Solfa performed as scheduled at the Elkader Opera House this past Saturday Night, June 14.  The extremely enjoyable and talented group performed to a large audience.  The Opera House Board provided free of charge tickets to a dozen flood victims and collected $738 dollars for the Clayton County Disaster Recovery Fund.
The audience members laughed, clapped, and sang along with the quartet and many were pleased to have a well deserved respite from the emotion of last week’s devastating flood waters.  Many audience members enjoyed the show so much they were already asking if the group would return to the Opera House in the future.
On behalf of Elkader Opera House Theater Board, Opera House Manager, Kay Moser expressed sincere gratitude to all those who the night of the show, made donations, to the Clayton County Disaster Relief Fund.
Donations for flood Relief can be made to Shepherd of the Hills
