Family Tree Clinic

We’re delighted to share a portion of proceeds from this year’s finale with Family Tree Clinic, a change agent cleverly disguised as a sexual health and education center. Since 1971, Family Tree has been cultivating a healthy community through comprehensive sexual health care and education. We believe everyone is deserving of not only high-quality and affordable services, but also affirming, individualized, and respectful care. And that’s exactly what they deliver. From person-centered medical care and specialized LGBTQ services, to comprehensive sex education and authentic community engagement, no other clinic in the upper Midwest provides the unique combination of services they do. Family Tree provides the gold standard of sexual health care and education to over 20,000 people each year. And we know they can ensure this standard for many more with your support.

Thank you for your support!

Prairie Fire Lady Choir closes season at Cedar Cultural Center

By Veronica Schwenn, TC Daily Planet
December 04, 2013

Originally published on Twin Cities Daily Planet

It’s hard to find time to pursue your hobbies when you have a job and a family as well, but the women of the Prairie Fire Lady Choir do just that. Annette Schiebout, one of the choir’s founding members, had not been in a choir since college and was looking for a place to sing again. She found a group of like-minded women and established the Prairie Fire Lady Choir in 2010.

“We all wanted to be rock stars, but knew we couldn’t pursue that,” Schiebout said. The group started small, meeting in each other’s living rooms to rehearse at first. Their first performance was on the Mississippi Megalops, as part of the May 2011 Northern Spark Festival. In the spring of 2012, the Prairie Fire Lady Choir hosted open auditions which led to the choir almost tripling in size. Today, the choir has more than 45 active members and performs at venues and events all over the Twin Cities.

Schiebout said that she has loved the opportunity to perform at “so many stages in the Twin Cities.” The choir also took part in “Absolutely Cuckoo: Minnesota Covers the ’69 Love Songs,” and Schiebout said that their performance at First Avenue as a part of that series was among her most memorable moments with the choir. The Prairie Fire Lady Choir truly has been on every stage, from performing the national anthem at Lynx games to marching in the Twin Cities’ Pride Parade.

The Prairie Fire Lady Choir is a non-profit organization, and is fiscally sponsored by Springboard for the Arts. In addition, the members of the choir formed the Red Hot Coals committee to lead and manage the choir. The choir also works with businesses in the Twin Cities, such as Bibelot Shops, to secure sponsorship for the choir.

The choir uses a democratic process in determining which songs to sing. There is a designated time for song pitching, where any member of the choir can suggest a piece, and the women will vote on which ones they want to perform. The Prairie Fire Lady Choir tries to vary their repertoire, performing pieces of all genres and frequently creating song mash-ups that span several decades. One example is their piece “Enter Mr. Sandman,” which is a blend of the 1950s song “Mr. Sandman” and the Metallica song “Enter Sandman.”

Schiebout said that the choir has far exceeded her expectations. She was looking for a place to sing with friends, and she helped to create a choir that is now a fixture in the Twin Cities community. The Prairie Fire Lady Choir’s final show of the season was December 4 at the Cedar Cultural Center.

Prairie Fire Lady Choir at the Cedar

Originally published on Secrets of the City

A group that refers to itself as “enthusiastic amateurs” shines its brightest tonight, with a holiday show and illustrious musical guests. Donning warm colors and warmer boots, the Prairie Fire Lady Choir takes the stage at the Cedar in all their 50-woman-strong a capella glory (because who decided it was just for college kids, anyway?!) It’s sure to be a mix of reverently performed covers and riotous sing-a-longs in the intimate Cedar. Joining the PFLC as MC is Quillan Roe of the Roe Family Singers, and watch for fellow performers Haley Bonar and Zoo Animal guitarist Matt Latterell (who’s a singer/songwriter in his own right) joining them onstage. Get down with the Prairie Fire Ladies once and you’ll surely be hooked. 7:30 p.m. $12. —EK
