BUSINESS MEETING

• Chattahoochee Convention will be held August 5 – 6 in Whitesburg, GA. Highly recommended!
• Next singing in Savannah is Aug 12, Skidaway UM Church.
• Our next monthly singing will be Aug 26.
• Future Refreshments: Delynne August, Rob September, Darleen October.
• The final accounting for our May all-day singing shows us just barely in the black.
• The rental of the parish hall at the cathedral on Coming St was rather high for which revenue did not completely cover. Do we want to explore other venues for 2018?
• Should we have a second day of singing in 2018? Is there sufficient interest? What book? Stephen suggests Shenandoah Harmony. Maybe Robert Kelly would like to lead a 7-shape class?

Stephen dismissed class with 347. John offered prayer.
