SUBJECT: SELECTION OF SPRING PLAY

There are three plays that I would like you to consider for next semester's performance. They include:

The Importance of Being Earnest, a comedy written by Oscar Wilde. In the play, Jack Worthing has a complicated courtship with Lady Bracknell's daughter, Gwendolyn. His ward, Cecily, has fallen in love with his friend Algernon.

A Delicate Balance, a comedy written by Edward Albee. The play is a funny look at love, compassion, and the bonds of friendship and family.

A Comedy of Errors, a comedy written by William Shakespeare. The play is about mistaken identities of twins.

I have planned copies of the plays on reserve in the library. Please look them over by November 25 so that we can discuss them in class that day. We will need to make a decision before December 1 so that I can order the playbooks.

SUBJECT: WEB PAGE CREATION

Rebecca Dunwoody has been hired to replace DeWayne Hughes as our box office coordinator. DeWayne has decided to return to school to start work on a Master of Business Administration degree. As you are aware, DeWayne has been a valuable asset to our organization for the past five years.

It was not easy finding a person with similar qualification to replace DeWayne. His enthusiasm and love of music, combined with a degree in music as well as a minor in business administration, made filling the job particularly difficult. However, we believe we were successful when we were able to hire Ms. Dunwoody. She is a recent graduate of NYC's music program. While completing her degree, she worked as an assistant for the business manager of one of our competitors.

Please extend your appreciation and best wishe to DeWayne before he leaves on March 30 and welcome Rebecca when she arrives on March 25.

SUBJECT: WEB PAGE CREATION

As we develop our Web page, we may want to review some of those developed by other symphonies. I have already looked at several on the Web. San Francisco's was one that I felt we should model ours after.

Theirs is clear, concise, and easy to navigate. In addition to the normal sections, they have a section called "More About the San Francisco Symphony." Here they include such as:

1. A brief history
2. The mission statement
3. Community programs
4. News items about the Symphony

To view their Web page, go to http://www.sfsymphony.org. I'll look forward to working with you at our next commitee meeting.
