SNATS Meeting Monday

Great first meeting today! Thanks for your energy and your interest. As we said, we’ll meet in the choir room next Monday at 3 pm for officer elections, so have your stump speeches ready. We’ll also have our first diction class, starting with a review of IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). I’ll keep it simple and fun. If you want to start selling Avon now, get your forms from Miss Nora. If you can wait till next week, she’ll bring the forms to our meeting. This is a GREAT opportunity—be sure to thank her for her help and generosity! Meanwhile, I’ll contact our possible master clinicians and see what I can line up. Follow my blog at uabopera.blogspot.com, and feel free to comment on posts if you like them or if you have ideas to share. Thanks so much for your enthusiasm. With this kind of excitement, we’ll have a fantastic year!
