Dear HCC-Music Members,

Today, Elizabeth Kent, adjunct music faculty member at HCC, is fully
assuming operations of this announcement mailing list and is
incorporating it into the services of the HCC Music Department. This
also marks the retirement of the Friends of the HCC Music Department,
its activities and its associated website.

Our short name, HCC-Music, will remain, but the group's full name has
become, The Music Department of the Howard Community College,
Columbia, MD. The web address of the group will remain the same, at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hcc-music .

The owner mailing address, hcc-music-owner@yahoogroups.com, will now
reach Elizabeth's mailbox. As her participation has already
demonstrated, this is wonderful news for us. Faculty participation
has brought absolutely current and accurate event announcements to
our mailboxes.

Thank you for staying with us in these past transition years. Happy
Listening in the remainder of this musical season, and all to come.

Bill Herbert
Former Manager, Friends of the HCC Music Department

hope that you will see email event announcements and reminders for
all of the May concerts in the school's new facilities. You may see
some reminders for earlier events.

moderator. She is an adjunct music faculty member at HCC and will
post our event notices and schedule their reminders. Her close
contact with planning for the use of all the venues at HCC will
guarantee the accuracy of all of our event postings. I expect she
will rapidly assume more responsibilities in the group and will
better integrate the group into the music department.
