Two items:
1.
Due to recent changes with JW Pepper's management,
reading packets for the two ACDA choral reading sessions are not able to be provided free-of-charge. The cost of packets is $5.00 each, and can be purchased at the time of registration (by mail, but not online) Unfortunately, the online payment portal
will not allow the adjustment.
2.
The town meeting in St. George will be replaced by an online survey at the end of the conference. This will enable the board to accumulate data regarding future conferences from everyone--not just those who attend that meeting.
Thanks for helping us spread the word about the conference to colleagues who are not yet members of the UMEA. We've begun a new
UMEA Facebook Page to help you easily inform your friends about this exciting conference. We have had a few link problems with the website. But, you should be able to see a complete listing of conference sessions and presenters by Wednesday.
See you in sunny St. George. . .Boy, that sounds good with today's temperature!
