Tchoraliers1ahe Ave Maria Choraliers entertained at several nursing homes in Naples on St. Patricks Day. The Choraliers ,wearing their green vests and Irish hats, read funny sayings on old age, told jokes,  played kazoos and sang Irish songs.

Song sheets were provided to the nursing home residents, who enjoyed participating, said Choraliers director Elaine Doerrfeld. "One 90 year old residents said it was the best program he ever saw at the home," she said, adding that the smiles and participation of the residents was also highly rewarding for the Choraliers.

In the evening the Choraliers reprised their Irish program at Del Webb for their Irish festivities.

The Choraliers provide their outreach service several times a year, performing at various nursing homes and other assisted-living facilities in the Naples area.
