Updates from Jessica

Hi again,
A few other things:
- scholarship applications are due tomorrow (Monday Feb 4) at the rehearsal, or you can email them to me during the day. I won't accept any applications after rehearsal tomorrow night.
- the concert tracks (from December's concert) are on the website - the link may still say "Spring 07 concert", but it's the december one. If May's concert still comes up, just hit the refresh button. Also, we should have the practice tracks up sometime today (for new people, the password to get into the members only section is "jabberwocky"). If you're having any trouble getting into the site, let me know.
- I haven't heard from some of you in regard to the extra concerts (mentioned in the email below). Please let me know as soon as you can!
- if you haven't done so already, please bring your dues to tomorrow's rehearsal: $150 for the semester, which includes all music fees.
- the retreat next Saturday starts at 9:30 with coffee and warm-ups, and should end around 1:30 or so. Location:
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
4th Avenue between 74th and Bay Ridge Parkway
(R train to 77th Street- be sure to take the R and not the N)
The entrance is *not* the main church, but instead the building attached to the church - to the right as you're looking at the red main doors of the church. Go down the little walkway to the door there, and we'll be upstairs. We'll have signs too, so you shouldn't get lost!
See you all tomorrow night, and a reminder to please let Melanie know if you won't be there for some reason. Thanks, and have a great day!
