--News--


* A warm welcome to our newest member, Mary McGee! A directory addendum with her contact information, as well as other directory changes, will be e-mailed soon.


* You won't want to miss our two upcoming Guild events on January 29 and February 12. They provide a great opportunity to invite potential members and share the camaraderie. The more our membership grows, the more we'll be able to support the Greenville Symphony and host interesting events.


* Have you seen our new rack (publicity) cards displayed around town? If you know of a good place to add them, please let us know.
