[ivie] This is Carol Sexton

Hi, Ivie members.

Just a thought.

A few times I've seen messages which should be directed to one person, or a
very small group appear on our list.

I understand Carol asking the group as a whole about dues.
Perhaps not knowing who specifically to direct the question to--i.e.
treasurer, president, a membership committee, etc.

However, sometimes it seems best that the reply go only to the person
enquiring rather than the whole list.

Some data could be personal.

Some could be a little uncomfortable--i.e. if someone's dues are delinquent.

That would not be info I'd appreciate the whole organization knowing if it
were me.

Please do not take this as disapproval or criticism ... other than perhaps
constructive criticism or, something to keep in mind for future reference.

I miss being at our breakfasts at convention. It's been a few years since I
have been able to join with you all.

Just put my youngest daughter on the air plane this morning for 10 days in
Hawaii with the Rapid City Children's Chorus who are participating in the
pacific rim children's choral festival.

She's fourteen and will have a blast.

Mom and dad are happy for the peace and quiet and time together, alone at
home!!! *smile*

Blessings!
