>> Hello all,
>> Thursday evening we had a zoom meeting for anyone interested in offering
>> input on the music committee.
>>
>> Discussion included:
>>
>>    - The need for better communication to the congregation at large
>>    about the choir, to include recruiting more (and younger) members. This
>>    would also include regular newsletter blurbs, maybe biweekly or monthly.
>>    - Making the choir and music program in general much more visible
>>    (and findable) on the UCM website.  Right now you really have to be
>>    determined enough to search through several layers to find choir info!  Not
>>    Good!  We need to toot our own horn!
>>    - Help with keeping the music organized and filed.
>>    - Someone (or ones) to organize the Zoom alternative choir
>>    rehearsal.  This may need to be initially set up by one of the IT
>>    volunteers, and then "turned on" each week by a choir member.  The purpose
>>    of this is to allow choir members to rehearse from home *with the
>>    choir rehearsing in person*  in the event of bad weather/driving or
>>    illness.  Donia did this on a smaller scale in December when some choir
>>    members were ill.  We'd like to improve on this.
>>    - Someone to help choir members with Zoom logistics
>>    - Create ways to celebrate, social events and special projects, etc.
>>    - invite folks not in the choir to join the committee
>>
>> The general consensus last night was that an official "standing
>> committee" was not required or desired, but perhaps a list of folks willing
>> to volunteer for specific tasks would be better.
>>
>> If anyone has comments or additions to this list, we should have time to
>> discuss it after rehearsal today.
