Editor Wanted
Hi Everyone,
As you know, Ann Davis has served as the Editor for the Final Notes
section of the
Triangle for several years now and done an
excellent job of keeping track of and honoring our members who move on
to a higher calling. Ann has let us know that she is looking to hand
over this very rewarding position to someone else.
The job is not intensive at all and as Ann can tell you, a most
rewarding position. Members send Ann notice of fellow members who have
passed on. Or sometimes, I send the notices to Ann from information I
read in your newsletters. Ann has a spreadsheet where she keeps track of
the names. Each time a
Triangle is prepared, Ann sends the
notices to the
Triangle Editor with a short paragraph about the
member. She checks online for obituaries or contacts chapters for
additional information. Ann uses the database to check the chapter and
date of initiation. There are four issues of the
Triangle, so
notices are sent to the Triangle Editor before each issue. You would be
reminded when it was time to send the Final Notes column.
Other than that, at the convention, at least for the last four
conventions, the Final Notes editor has taken part in the Memorial
Service by reading highlights from each province of members passed since
the last convention (thus the spreadsheet Ann has designed). However,
this is not a requirement, so if you are interested in the Final Notes
position but would not want to participate at the convention, that is
perfectly fine. That can certainly be worked out later.
Would you be willing to volunteer for this position? Ann is anxious and
would be happy to work with you and pass along all the information she
has. This is an opportunity to be involved with our fraternity as we
honor those members who came before us. Please let me know if you might
be interested in continuing the work of the Final Notes.
Thanks. Hoping to hear from you soon. Please stay safe and healthy.

Our Saturday, September 9th Zoom meeting featured a video from the “Carnival
of the Animals” originally performed and recorded by members of Mu Phi
Epsilon and friends on April 2, 2001. We enjoyed seeing our performers
as they were 20 years ago in this delightful performance.
Our
meeting and program on Zoom featured Fran Pearson, viola, who played
Bach Suite #1 in C major for cello - Minuet #1 & #2.
Joy is in the journey.

Our
pre-recorded videos are working very well for our Virtual Concert Series as
the Library is still closed. Our performers have been excellent and the
production quality has been good as well.
