There is not a quorum from the people who come regularly, so
I’m cancelling the meeting for Tuesday, December 29.

regularly, who would find it easier to come this week, I can
uncancel it. But otherwise, I’ll see you all at the party on Friday.

I wrote:

The January 1 date for our annual party has been
working out well. But this year, January 1 is a Friday, and I
don’t see that the Saturday or Sunday would be any worse than the
Friday. So let me know by Friday if you’d prefer to come on one of
those dates instead of January 1.

So far I have heard a murmur against January 2, and no
enthusiasm for January 3, so it will be January 1.

So bring your voice, bring your instruments, bring your
friends, bring food and drink if you have some you want to share, to 233 Broadway, Cambridge on
January 1, 2016. We’ll start at 4, and continue until everyone
turns into a pumpkin.

As usual, here are printable invitations:

• This
  one is one page with our flyer on the back.
• And This
  one can be folded in four to be pocket sized.

(non)Meeting report

With people out of town and rehearsing for other groups and
having just returned from being out of town, we didn’t have a
quorum for a regular meeting.

However, there was a 5-part piece we’d been wanting to
proofread for a while, so two of us joined 3 players at John
Tyson’s place and proofread Valle che de’ lamenti miei
se’ piena by Giaches de Wert
