From The Program VP

New ideas I put forward last week. For those not in attendance, here they are:

1)The donation basket will be passed at the break before getting off the risers.

2) The idea of raising chapter dues was discussed. At present they are 11$ per year. If any member wishes to share there opinion or objection, tell me or any Board Member before the next Board Meeting.

Finally, let’s try to be on the risers by 7 pm every rehearsal. It shouldn’t take 5 minutes for us wander around, talk, and then get there. It’s disrespectful of our director, let’s start earlier.

Much better turn out last week and a much bigger sound! Here’s hoping our Baritone Section gets to feeling better soon. Jimmy is working on more detailed issues now and that’s a good sign for our singing!

If you are not in a Quartet for February 14th, consider helping Pete out by manning or helping put the goodies together. All jobs are important in any endeavor we undertake. Until next week, KTTWS! SteveG

From the Membership VP

Valentine's Day Marketing Comments

o Pete is doing a great job getting everything going for Valentine's Day! As always, the issue is having enough quartets! If you would like to sing but haven't yet contacted Pete, please do so!

o What else can you do to help your Chorus? Please:

- Send the Poster along with any comments you would like to add to your personal email listings.

- Chat up the great idea of Singing Valentines with family and friends.

- Grab a few Posters to distribute in your area.

- If you have a spot for one, get one of the large outdoor signs and put it up!

- Ask Pete what else you might do to make this a Big Day!

- Last year we covered 60 sites and made over $3,000. Every extra stop this year is at least another $50 and enhanced Brand Awareness! Thanks! Rich
