Jack Overly introduced today’s program – Major 13 a choral group from the high school who provided an assortment of Christmas songs. Major 13 received its name because there are 13 students in the group and that major 13 is a jazz chord.
Bob Fulton, our Duck Race Social Media Chair, has asked me to compile a list of contacts who have expressed a willingness to incorporate marketing messages we create for the Duck Race Festival into their social media efforts. If you are involved with social media (Facebook, etc.) and would like to receive our messages please let me know before the end of the year. Expanding our social media efforts provides the best opportunity to expand our adoption form sales. So do let me hear from you. Rene Moquin
