Board Minutes (Continued from page 2)

The consensus of the group was that these forms need to be improved to more adequately describe the projects being undertaken and the results to be derived.

VP of Public Relations: Harvey Kiser reported that an article about our July board meeting was published in The Manhattan Mercury and that he regularly submits information about the chapter to local papers. Harvey indicated that some chapters had been successful with establishing a phone number with an automated answering service in order to give directions to our meeting and provide other information about the chapter

Director of Music: Don Thomson reported that he was ready to start a series of quartet-oriented pre-meeting sessions and that we should look for a fall

performance somewhere in the area. He asked about our continued use of Reg Pittman and those present agreed we should continue to work with Reg Pittman to some degree.

Old Business: It was agreed by the group that the business dealing with purchase of riser chairs for the chorus should remain as a item of old business, but not acted upon until we have some resolution on facilities and equipment management.

New Business: None.

Adjournment:

In the absence of any business to conduct it was agreed by the group to adjourn and we did so by singing "Sweet, Sweet Roses of Morn" to close the meeting at 8:38 p.m.

use for other events and use them for rehearsals. When you start counting Thursdays there are not many of them available to prepare for our show and with the holidays this year, we were already short three rehearsals as it was. So, MARK YOUR CALENDARS, we will be holding our Installation Banquet on December 11th. It will be held in conjunction with a form of our usual holiday activities. David Darling is working on the planning for this event. We will keep you informed of the details as they come together. As is the case with many members, David is a busy man. Feel free to step up and offer to give David a hand with the planning for this event. I am sure he will welcome all the help he can get.

As you can see, this machine we call a Barbershop Chapter continues to roll on, at a pretty steady speed if you ask me. We have plenty on the road in front of us. Mark your calendars well, as I am sure you will not want to miss any more of the exciting things than you have to. I cannot close this newsletter without expressing my gratitude to the people that step up and do the work that makes our chapter run so well. There are many of you. Many who will NOT say no when asked to take on a challenge. Your dedication and tireless service is greatly appreciated.
