I Just Have To Say
I Love You
In A Song

Subtitle: We Love The Ones That Cry

This year five very talented quartets donated more than 48 hours of traveling and singing to bring a message of love to many recipients of singing valentines.  Valentines were presented to sweethearts, moms, daughters friends and significant others at homes, work places, restaurants -  even bowling alleys and sporting events.  In all cases, time seemed to stand still as the quartets sang of the love.
