I agree with what Betsey just said. I was at the most recent rehearsal
last week. I did not hear any malice expressed, just concern for finding a
good way forward and a desire to follow the bylaws, which call for an
annual meeting in June with elections. I plan to be at the annual meeting,
which the singers at last week's rehearsal scheduled for next Thursday,
June 16, in the Activity Room where we usually rehearse. As I recall, the
time set for the meeting is 7:00 PM.
Between now and Monday I will not be available to participate in
communications about Phoenix Chorale, as my daughter is getting married on
Sunday, the rehearsal dinner is at my home tomorrow, and I am involved in
preparations.

Dear Anna,
I'm not a Board member but can attest that the date was agreed upon by all
Phoenix members present at the last rehearsal when we realized that the by
laws called for an annual meeting in June.
This is not a conspiracy! It's an attempt to resolve serious issues that
are currently impeding the progress of the Phoenix Chorale.
Sincerely
Betsey

Dear Margaret, and members,
There will not be a "legally" called meeting on June 16. This was a date
set by you and your "co-President" for the purpose of excluding
participation by a significant number of members due to known prior
commitments. Please have your attorney call David A Lourie, Esq. with any
questions or concerns.
