Order a singing valentine today, and the Drake University Choir’s talented vocalists will present your special someone with a sweet song and red roses at work, at home or at a restaurant. Only 100 singing valentines can be delivered, so it's important to order your package now. The "True Romantic" package with a single rose costs $20 and the "Cupid's Favorite" package with a half dozen roses costs $30. Small groups of choir members will hand deliver singing valentines throughout the Des Moines metro area from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14. The registration deadline is Monday, Feb. 11.

"No University funds will be used for the choir’s New York tour, so your support is important and greatly appreciated," says Aimee Beckmann-Collier, director of choral activities at Drake.
