CAPCOTS
Canadian Atlantic Provinces Chapter Officer Training Seminar

2009:

This event is sponsored by the Sunrise Division of The Barbershop Harmony Society. For the past several years the men have extended an invitation to Area 1 Chapter members and officers to attend the event. It's a packed day - full of useful information for Area 1 members.


Members of the Sunrise Division, Harmony, Inc. Ladies and Others,
Please see below the preliminary info. re CAPCOTS. We'll send out the Individual Registration Form soon, for you to fill out and send in to Aubrey Wallace.

Unfortunately, there will be no Saturday Night Show this year or Turkey Dinner. Classes will be held on Saturday morning and afternoon only until 5:00 pm. There will be no evening classes or any activities on Sunday.

Please make a special effort to take advantage of this year's CAPCOTS leadership and music training, and please spread the word around about CAPCOTS - we need at least 100 attendees to make a real go of it. Thank you.

Yours In Harmony, Mark Radcliffe

In addition, you'll learn how your chapter can create and implement a Membership Recruitment and Retention Team (MRRT) to keep your chapter growing. Because of the team approach to membership growth, this course is recommended for Chorus Directors, Assistant Directors, Vice Presidents of Music and Performance, Chapter Presidents and Vice Presidents of Chapter Development (Membership) or anyone in the chapter who has an interest in learning how to make your chapter grow.
