Subject: CHOIR ROBES AND VEILS
Date: May 1, 2000
The Central Council would like to advise that choir and deacons robes, veils and stoles are available for purchase from the Council. The robes are made of a 65% - 35% cotton/polyester fabric; choir robes have a light tan body and a burgundy yoke, deacons robes have the same body with a royal blue yoke. They come in sizes small, medium, large and extra large, and the lengths and sleeves can be adjusted to individual needs (add $10 to the cost for any adjustments). The costs as of January 1, 2000 - plus shipping charges - are as follows:
Robes - $90 each. Smaller robes for youth choirs are also available and are made according to age; they are a solid light beige with no contrasting color, but with a trimming outlining the yoke. Their cost is $60 per robe.
Regular stoles - $40 each. Wraparound style stoles - $60 each.
Veils - $10 each.
Please send your orders or questions to (such as questions regarding the specific procedure for the laundering of the garments so that the burgundy color does not run):
