<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Greetings and Salutations,</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks go to those who have volunteered their homes for the practices! There are now five (5) locations: Carrollton (1), Richardson (2), Mesquite (1), and Garland (1). Two of the homes have pets, one home does not have pets, and I'm unsure about the other two; however, inquiries will be made and we should be able to work around the allergy problems.</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The second step is to schedule a time to practice. I have come up with the following tentative schedule. Being new to organizing this type of activity, I may only stay a week or so ahead of the practices with the 'official' schedule; however, I will do my best. The tentative schedule is as follows:</FONT></P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#1 Wednesday 7:30 pm October 6 in either Garland or Richardson</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#2 Wednesday 7:30 pm October 20 TBD</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#3 Wednesday 7:30 pm October 27 TBD (replaces Steppes Bardic Guild)</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#4 Wednesday 7:30 pm November 3 TBD</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#5 Wednesday 7:30 pm November 10 TBD</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#6 Wednesday 7:30 pm November 17 TBD</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">#7 Wednesday 7:30 pm November 24 TBD (replaces Steppes Bardic Guild)</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I will post the location for next week and a map/directions on Monday morning.</FONT>
</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The third step is to have people to practice with. I now ask that anyone who would like to practice with the group to please email me (rjthomas@halff.com with 'Old City Park Caroling' in the subject line) and let me know whether or not you need copies of the caroling book. I'll make as many copies as we need.</FONT></P>
<BR>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">At this time, I also ask those who have graciously offered the hospitality of their homes to please call me this weekend (or soon) after they have perused the practice schedule and let me know if any dates work particularly well for you or don't work particularly well.</FONT></P>
