And given Donia's "acting" status and the hard work she has been doing enabling "live on tape" presentations by the choir and all the other difficulties given COVID etc, I would urge the music committee be re-created. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial black,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial black,sans-serif"><br class=""></div><div class=""><div dir="ltr" data-smartmail="gmail_signature" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><a href="mailto:finnerstephen@gmail.com" target="_blank" class="">finnerstephen@gmail.com</a><br class=""><div class="">(802) 598-4317 (cell) (802) 224-4396 (home-wifi)</div><div class="">27 Highland Avenue, Apartment 3</div><div class="">Barre, Vermont 05641</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Minister of Music Emeritus, St. Johnsbury Vermont UU Congregation</div><div class="">(he, him, his)</div><div class="">"There must always remain in everyone's life some room for the singing of angels" Rev.

We will be using 4 powerful air filtration units which will give us more than enough of the recommended air changes without opening any windows, and following all of our other protocols. This is the first time a group this size has been allowed to meet in the church (singing, no less!) and I'll be clarifying any other general building protocols, as well as set-up needs, etc, and let you know beforehand.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This coming Tuesday evening at 6:30 is the first "Committee of Chairs" meeting the church has had in some time. We don't currently have an active music committee, but we could use someone to represent music/the choir at this meeting. I will be going but late as I have another long-standing obligation beforehand. The meeting will be on zoom, and some might find it interesting to attend as it will include updates from groups like the covid task force, air quality project, tech team, etc. Might anyone be willing/interested to represent us there? Let me know, or if you have any questions. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Finally, I will be trying to make practice tracks for altos and sopranos for "Who Lives, Who dies" this weekend.
