Our February Chapter Meeting will be a professional concerns workshop. The venue is the centrally located Trinity Cathedral. We will be joined by the Lorain County Chapter. Special guest will be our Regional Councilor, Dr. David Lamb. We will open with a social time at 7:00 pm so that you may greet Dr. Lamb. Following that at 7:30 we will hear an update from him about regional and national affairs. Then we will move into our evening's workshops. The first will be a discussion of Minister/Musician relations led by the team of Rev. Jimmy Madsen and Brian Wentzel, FAGO. They serve as minister and music director, respectively at from Lorain First Lutheran Church. Finally we will have workshop on Resume Writing led by Tim Robson. Tim presented this workshop at our Church Music Conference last spring. Since few people attended that workshop, I have asked him to present it again. In his position as Associate Director of the Kelvin Smith Library at Case Western Reserve University, Tim sees many resumes and the tips he gives will be valuable to any type of position you may be applying for- musical or otherwise. I think this will be an enjoyable and informative evening for all and I hope to see you there.

 

Best to you,

 

Fern
