From Mark:

Anaheim Update:
1) Rehearsal Schedule: We had originally been told that we would know by this week what time slot we've been assigned for our rehearsal on Thursday, July 2.  Unfortunately it looks like it's now going to be another 2 weeks before we find out since they're waiting for information from one chorus that is bringing their risers and the master scheduler is leaving for a two week anniversary cruise.  
2) Convention Pins:  I have a sign up sheet on the table for 2009 International Convention pins.  We can pre-order them at $4.00 each ($3.00 if we have more than 50) rather than paying $8.00 in Anaheim.  I plan on sending our order in on April 29.  Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks, Mark Ortenburger
