I definitely think we should present a simple arrangement of flowers to Willow
in appreciation of the work on her performance.
Perhaps we could use a nice basket for donations for each concert.
I am glad that Nancy volunteered to help with this. My question— do we need a
head count for future grant application data?

Hi Board,
Nancy Middleton (one of the new horn players) emailed me the other day asking
if she could pass out programs at the concerts, as she doesn’t feel ready to
perform on stage with us just yet. She also volunteered to help mind the
donation box, if we can find one. (I have my old blue bucket we used for the
outdoor 4th of July concerts, but honestly, I think that would look pretty
crummy for indoor performances!) Does anyone have a nice canister or box that
could be used to collect donations? I know we could use an open instrument
case, but the last time we did that, I recall it didn’t work terribly well…
Nancy also asked if it was customary for the group to get flowers for soloists
like Willow I’m not sure if we’ve given flowers since I’ve been in ACWE, but is
this something we should consider for her? (I told Nancy that she wouldn’t need
to get these herself, of course – it’d be something we would take care of.) Of
course, I thanked her profusely for offering to help us out at our concerts,
and I let her know that she is welcome to perform with us whenever she feels
ready.
