Stillwater Community Singers recruiting for July 3 benefit concert
The Stillwater Community Singers are looking for vocalists who can contribute to a July 3 benefit concert for Stillwater Strong's wildfire relief efforts. The Singers and Stillwater Community Band are planning what's described as a patriotic concert for that evening in the Stillwater Community Center. 'The band will perform their set of spectacular patriotic pieces, the choir will sing a couple of selections, and then we will all join together in 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic,'' the group's newsletter read. 'It's going to be amazing.' The recruitment effort, according to the Singers, is 'to be big enough to create a memorable experience for the singers while inspiring the audience to donate.' 'To achieve our vision, we need more singers. And so we are going to make this easy,' the newsletter reads. Their choir will sing 'America the Beautiful,' 'This Land is Your Land' and 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic.' The first of six rehearsals will begin May 22. 'There will be no dues, no fees and no push to permanently join the Stillwater Community Singers. Music and online rehearsal tools will be provided,' the letter reads. 'If you are a singer in Stillwater and will be available on Thursday evenings between May 22 and July 3 then consider yourself called to come and join us for this event.' Those interested should visit for more information and registration to volunteer.

Melania Trump and her life as the First Lady of the United States in pictures
First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, has already had her fair share of moments since taking the reins of First Lady for the second time. The wife of 45th and 47th President Donald J. Trump, and the mother to their son, Barron Trump, Melania was born in Slovenia on April 26, 1970, and is the second First Lady born outside of the United States. She started her career as a fashion model, working with some of the best photographers in the fashion industry. Among these were Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton, Arthur Elgort, Ellen von Unwerth, Peter Arnell, Antoine Verglas, and Mario Testino. Melania 'takes control' during uncomfortable birthday kiss with Donald Trump Donald Trump branded 'disgrace' after being caught on phone at Pope's funeral Melania also appeared on magazine covers for many high-brow publications such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, British GQ, Ocean Drive, Avenue, InStyle, and New York Magazine. She married Donald Trump in 2005 at Mar-A-Lago, now known as the Southern White House, and has remained more or less by the billionaire's side since. When Trump was first elected in 2016, eventually moving into the official residence in Washington, it was reported that Melania wasn't present for much of the time and opted to stay in New York with their young son instead. She has also disagreed with Trump on abortion, as she remains pro-choice. In 2016, President Donald Trump said there should be 'some form of punishment' for women who seek abortions, although his stance seems to have mellowed since then.
