Las Vegas, Seattle, Hawaii, Pendleton, Hood River, The Dalles, Ashland and Bend. Kelly led the choir until he died in
December 2004. The transitional years after Kelly were a little uncertain, but the MelloMacs hit full stride and confidence when choir member Ardith Stensland steered them toward Gus Pappelis as the new director. Pappelis, a former director and producer for big Disney productions around the world, has a genuineness and kindness he brings along with an incredible musical talent. MelloMacs report their apprecia- tion for his sense of humor, his ability to patiently teach, and his skill drawing the best performance from the choir. Under Pappelis’ guidance, the Broadway
show tunes and old Hollywood songs strike just the right note at nursing homes, retirement centers, and hospitals where residents sing along and have an occasional nostalgic tear when hearing an old favorite. MelloMacs also enjoy listening to Pappelis play the piano at the Portland City Grill where they gather around the piano and sing along with him, to the surprise and delight of hipsters at the bar. MelloMacs have a 50-year history of developing close friendships: playing bridge together, meeting for tennis matches, attending concerts and plays together, meeting up at the Oregon Coast, volunteering at the Albertina Kerr Center, meeting at the Portland City Grill for sing alongs, and meeting for dinner or drinks before or after rehearsals and performances. The MelloMacs pride themselves on their history as a service choir, offering a compassionate outreach to the community. In fact, their first public performance was as a service choir for veterans at the Vancouver, Wash., barracks. This tradition continued with performances at veterans’ hospitals in Seattle, Hawaii, Portland and White City, Ore. At the Vancouver VA Hospital, where the most infirm veterans are being cared for, the MelloMacs have been the main holiday entertainment for 41 consecutive years. Throughout the years, those attending performances have commented about the joy with which the MelloMacs sing. The group’s musical selections are always crowd pleasers, including at the four annual MAC performances: the Holiday Open House, the Children’s Holiday Party, the Annual Meeting, and at the MelloMacs Spring Sing Along concert.
