Meeting 12/05/08

Important Dates:
12/12 - Winter Concert, 7pm

1/9 - Yearbook Pictures


The annual Winter Concert is on December 12 at 7:00pm. Come support if you're not performing!

Christmas Caroling at the local convalescent home on Garfield will probably be during the third week of December, the last week of school before break. Official date and time is TBA. We have decided to sing Deck the Halls, Silent Night, Frosty the Snowman, Joy to the World, and Up On The Housetop. The attire for the event will be black and white, almost concert-like.

A social with Gabrielino's Tri M will be on December 21. This event is MANDATORY, especially because our club looks low in numbers compared to them.

Yearbook pictures will be on January 9th, 2009. That will be a friday, so we can go after our meeting. This is just an early notice.

Sweaters will be in soon. If you have not ordered one and would like to, please contact Albert.

Lanyards are, again, navy blue with white print and will cost $2.

To receive a Tri M membership pin, you must meet the following criteria:
- attend meetings (cannot miss two or three meetings)
- attend events (caroling, bakesale, etc)
Dedicated seniors will receive honor chords.

We have drawn names for SMM (secret music masters!) so have fun in gift giving!
