Vice Presidents
- Some changes are being
made to the role of vice president. Each choir will now have two vice
presidents. These jobs will have specific assignments including chaperoning the
choir on trips, purchasing makeup and other costume items, etc. If you have an
interest in being a VP for your child's choir (even though you don't know what
that choir will be yet.....) please e-mail Debbie Wade (dwade56@charter.net)
and let her know.
Chairmanships - We have openings for the following chair
positions. Some of these are due to vacancies and some are because we want two
people in a certain position. Please e-mail Debbie Wade if you are interested
in any of the following chairs:
Car Wash

Discussion - A discussion was held on ways to
promote/encourage the participation of new parents. Suggestions such as
contract points, merchandise, tickets, reserved seats etc. were given as all
ways to motivate and/or reward parents for volunteering their time. If you have
