[Choir] card and question

[Donia Prince]

I can bring a card for us to send to Sue.

I have a question for all of you!  I have agreed to present at the next
meeting of UCM committee chairs a list of short, easy songs that could be
useful to begin committee meetings -- songs that encourage coming together,
spiritually grounding, etc.   These will be pulled from our hymn books but
also can include songs not directly from the Unitarian tradition.  I'll be
teaching 3-5 songs that people might not already be familiar with.   I have
some ideas but would be foolish not to ask you all for your ideas!  Do you
have favorites, either from Unitarian or other sources, that you think
should be included?

Let me know either by email or at rehearsal tonight.  Thanks!
Donia
