Winter Venues
The Winter 2016 preview concert will be at the Norse Home. To publicize this concert we could put tent cards on their dinner tables. For the Winter 2016 public concert Gennie will meet with the University Christian Church coordinator to make sure the venue is ready for us. The discussion will include lighting and the temperature of the building.

Publicity
Patricia gathered history of the Rain City Symphony from various members. There some loose ends that the new Publicity Director will need to look into. They include setting up a QR code and maintaining the Facebook account. She has created an informational book to help the new director.

Development
John needs to submit documentation to King County to get the 4Culture money.

Other
A greeter is needed for the lobby at our concerts. The greeter's responsibilities will include coordinating the front of the house, handing out programs, collecting donations,
and safeguarding the cash box. John will ask Elizabeth Shaw do this task.
