These gatherings provide critical emotional support and respite for members, facilitate cross-cultural friendships, enhance participants sense of belonging and hope, and strengthen a commitment to leadership in the community. In 2023, TRC expanded its impact by adding an additional program, Harmony After Hours, to complement the established Tuesday rehearsals. These regular meetings not only introduce cultural singing from international traditions but also empower members to engage more actively in civic activities, creating a ripple effect of positive community involvement. 92075 0 105932 TRC events showcase our mission of hope and inclusivity to the broader community. In 2023, we significantly expanded our reach by producing three major concerts featuring guest artists from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Mongolian musicians ZJE Mongol, Ukrainian folk ensemble Hraimore, Congolese singer Providence Kamana, and gospel artist Erica Walker. Our impact extended beyond local boundaries as we performed at ten high-profile events, including the Governors State of the State Address, ACDA National Conference, Madaraka Festival, and the Refugee Community Building Conference. These performances amplified refugee voices, promoted cross-cultural understanding, and expanded our reach to new audiences across local and national platforms. 49950 0 53600 TRC creates professional-quality music videos that spread our message of hope, love, and belonging. In 2023, we released four impactful music videos, each with a unique focus. Song for Ukraine, a studio-recorded collaboration with Pihcintu Multicultural Chorus, supported war- affected communities. Jambo Bwana, introduced by our African members, showcased TRC events and community impact. Everyone Can Love Someone was a large-scale project involving over 150 participants, highlighting mutual support and the joy of community. Moon Song featured global guest soloists and community dancers, demonstrating our interconnectedness. These projects provided professional creative experiences for choir members, supported local artists, and expanded our digital reach to over 100,000. The videos serve as powerful tools for advocacy, cultural exchange, and promoting our mission of inclusivity, allowing TRCs message to resonate far beyond our local community. 289432 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 6 true false false false false false false false false false false X 9 9 false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false false false X L Calyn Miller CPA 2535659424 PO Box 65230 University Place WA 98466 Erin Guinup Executive Director 40.00 X 90022 0 0 Amy Leonard Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Victor Rhett Treasurer (Jan-May) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Erin Galeno Treasurer (May-Dec) 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Hines Board Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Eula Ramroop Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Bhagirath Bhatt Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nathalie Bajinya Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Wurdeman Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jinnie Horan Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 90022 0 0 false false false 89910 335191 425101 Performances 711130 8584 0 0 8584 89910 433685 8584 0 0 361842 247135 56590 58117 39285 520 11821 26944 1486 1486 0 0 4801 144 4657 0 4474 3230 1244 0 15135 11403 3732 0 2088 0 2088 0 Equipment Rental 1320 0 0 1320 Performers/Artists 5924 4774 0 1150 Production Staff 3266 3266 0 0 Video Production 11029 11029 0 0 26548 6445 2990 17113 477198 289432 83122 104644 172866 129066 172866 129066 287 287 0 X 172579 129066 172579 129066 172866 129066 -43513 X false false false X 0 0 112308 273285 229793 454807 425101 1495294 49931 129359 20361 8584 208235 0 0 112308 323216 359152 475168 433685 1703529 0 0 0 1703529 1703529 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X Pt VI, Line 11b The board reviews the return before filing
