Please see Jim Richards if you have any questions. *** From Mark Ortenburger: 1) Please remember that your Anaheim Hotel Registration information is due by February 26. If you have any questions or need a copy of the form please see me at the break. 2) If you have any interest in helping out with fundraising for our Anaheim trip please see me. 3) The Commodores will not be participating at the 10,000 Lakes Division Contest in Stillwater on March 27 & 28. Since we are competing at International this year we do not have to qualify at a Division Contest. We will be at the District Contest in October. If you have the time there will be lots of great music to listen to (quartets and choruses) at the Division Contest and it's just a short drive away. Tickets are only $10 for both Friday and Saturday. *** From Peter Jarnberg: Singing Valentines Please help your chapter quartets out by selling valentines. Only $39 for a LIVE SINGING VALENTINE! Great fundraiser, so please make every effort to give a valentine. See Peter or Neal. *** From Dan Williams: Re: 2009 Show Attire & Summer Uniforms The Show Committee has decided the attire for the show will be the Commodore-logo polo shirt and tan slacks with black belts and black shoes. Many of you already have a polo shirt; any color (blue, green, red or yellow) except white or black can be worn. I’ve been asked to order slacks for everyone to give the chorus a “more consistent look”. Sign-up sheets will be available tonight. Please fill in your waist/inseam sizes – all waist sizes 28-34, even waist sizes 36-54; inseam even sizes 28-34 & OB. Also, indicated if you need to order a polo shirt (size and color), as well. The slacks will cost $24.00, polo shirts cost $20.00. Please sign-up ASAP as I would like to place the order by Feb. 18th. This “uniform” will also become the Commodore summer uniform. See me, if you have any questions. The information can be emailed to me at: williamsda227@hotmail.com. *** Attendance: February 3, 2009 - 65 Dates to Remember: • Tuesday, February 10, Officer Investment, HOP Church • Saturday, March 7, Bruce Odell’s “Joe Barbershopper” class, Bloomington, MN • Tuesday, March 10, 2009 Preshow, Lakeville North High School • Thursday, March 19, 2009 Show Technical Rehearsal, Bethel Hall • Saturday, March 21, 2009 Annual Show, 3:00 and 7:30 PM, Bethel Hall • Friday and Saturday, March 27-28, 10,000 Lakes Division Contest, Stillwater, MN • Friday and Saturday, May 1-2, LOL District Spring Prelims, Stevens Points, WI • Sunday, June 14, On To Fame Show, 3:00 PM Ted Mann Concert Hall • Sunday through Sunday, June 28 to July 5, International Convention, Anaheim, CA • Friday through Sunday, October 23-25, LOL Fall Convention, Rochester, MN Board Meetings: Wooddale Lutheran Church – 7 PM • February 19 • March 26 • April 16 Mike Hojan, The SWIPE Editor Lakeville, MN
