Help Wanted-Bulletin Editor

       As many of you know, I will be moving to Florida at the end of the year.  We are looking for someone to take over as bulletin editor.  This is a very important but easy job.  If you can update a “word” document and can cut & paste to an email you can do this!! Takes no more than a half an hour a week unless you are composing an article.  Chorus members have the responsibility of furnishing the editor with important information.   Please contact Jim Scorgie or Rick Chapman if interested.   - Rick
