Since the board decided against an automatic accession - president yielding
to vice president - the suggestion was to ask Mr. Pitcher (member at large)
to consider being VP.

Finances: Should we start now to seek grant moneys?

Stipends: For Music Director? Librarian? Equipment Manager?

Duties of Principals: Bowings before copying, duplicate principal parts for
all small section members.
