Notes…
New Web Site (PLEASE READ)
A couple of things have happened or are happening in the next couple of days: 1. we have a new public web site (www.downeasters.org) 2. we have a new members-only web site, available via www.downeasters.org
Most of you will get a notification of a new login for the member-only site, hopefully today, after you receive this email. Please read that note and login and change your password as requested.
Important things to note:
1. both the public site and member-only area are accessible via www.downeasters.org 2. email lists (e.g. members, board, etc) are now @downeasters.org. The choirgenius site will be gone as of tomorrow. Email there will likely bounce. This email is using the new site!
3. You will have the same access to music and the calendar as before, just in a different format.
Both the public and member-only areas are still under changes to make them clean and usable. If you have any comments on either please send them to me (George) and I'll work with Chris C-W and Kevin (our new Marketing VP) to address them as possible.

Jack & Priscilla Sighting…
Kathy ran into Priscilla and Jack Baggs at our Hannaford in Windham this week. Both said they’re doing well, and adjusting to having their house all to themselves again after hosting family members for a while.
