Saturday 18 November 2017 from 2 to 4 PM

ATTENDANCE. Stephen (Pres.), Rob (Sec.), Suzanne, Darleen, Delynne, Joanne

Pre-singing Business Meeting

• The venue for our annual all-day singing remains unresolved. Stephen reported significant resistance at the Cathedral of St. Luke and St. Paul. Other ideas?
• Rob will renew our application at First (Scots) Presbyterian.
• Suzanne will look into the availability at John Wesley United Methodist.
• Rob presented ideas about a singing at the Cypress Methodist Campground (1794) near Ridgeville.

NOTE: Numbers preceded by S are selections from The Shenandoah Harmony (2012). All others are from The Sacred Harp (Denson Edition, 1991).

Class was called to order by Stephen leading 24t. (Whew, made it!)
