list of assigned tasks for the costumer position.

additional description for "Stage manager". Carol and Rachael will work on
this for the next meeting.

		Other job descriptions that were discussed, and will
be voted on at the next meeting are for director, producer (Henry will draft
a description(s) in addition to those submitted by Marc), music director,
and accompanist.

	NEWSLETTER EDITOR:

		Both candidates ( Pam & Michaela) were present and
shared their respective thoughts and perspectives for the newsletter
position.

		Both Pam and Michaela have data-base experience and
access to a PC and any needed software.
		They were both asked to leave the room for a brief
discussion, and then invited back for a written vote.

		Henry tallied the votes and announced that our new
newsletter editor will be Michaela Stanton. Congratulations Michaela!  Thank
you Pam for you continued interest and support of the company. Henry
proceeded to hand Michaela 6 pages of e-mail addresses to start her data
base with, and begin organizing.


	SEASON SLATE OF SHOWS:

		After a discussion of the relative merits of
"Pippin" and "Anyone can whistle" for the spring venue, Carol noted that she
was reluctant to vote on any show without knowing where the company stands
financially first, or without a proposed budget for the show. This was a
much needed "wake up call" to the group as we do not know how we stand
financially and are reluctant to approve funds on that basis. A motion was
made to table any further discussion of shows without having an updated
treasurer's report available. In order to avoid a similar problem in the
future, is was decided that there should be at least two names on the
account for assess of funds by more than one person should the need arise.


	PIRATES OF PENZANCE:

		The Orion Performing Arts Center will be the venue
for the show. This creates some interesting challenges for the technical
people to create a stage and wings etc.etc.  in that space. The show is
proceeding well other than that.

	TOPSHAM FAIR:

		The Topsham Fair people want to know if MCP will
supervise the "little farm",  and possibly the "penny scramble". They also
want to know if the company will assist in the clean up after the fair is
over again this year.  Anyone interested in helping out in some way, please
contact Henry. He is not in charge, but no one has been designated to be the
contact yet.

	MAILINGS:

		Carol went to the Post Office and gathered lots of
information regarding bulk mailings and costs,etc.etc., much to complicated
to go into any detail in these minutes. Carol will share this information
with the new newsletter editor and do some follow up.
