During the week they gave four performances in Germany, Switzerland and France. They toured the Black Forest, Rhine Falls, Strasbourg, France and many other attractions. Jeanette raised about SI,000 toward the trip since last September through the choir's fundraising programs. They included bagging groceries at Cub Foods, washing cars, and selling ad space in the choir's concert programs.
