I just want to take a moment to welcome our new artists and agent 
members (we're up to five now; it seems like a good first milestone).

Join me in welcoming Brent Bussey and Jim Warren of the American 
Shakespeare Company in Staunton, VA (who absolutely blew away 
Chattanooga this past September, I might add); our own Chris Dallas 
with his lovely bride Barbara Bailey Hutchison; Gail Crawford and David 
Johnson with the David Johnson Chorus of Dresden, TN; Lee Moore and 
Katie Roberts of East Coast Entertainment, and lastly Larry Kosson and 
his wife/partner Robin Spielberg (also a performer) who own SMG Artists 
of New Freedom, PA.

And I'll gladly add Meridith Hankenson of A-C-T-S, Inc. to the list 
when she ever gets around to sending the check...  :-)

Seriously, though, we appreciate the input each and every one of these 
six organizations have given us already. We're going to be talking 
with, working with, and listening to all of these folks in the coming 
weeks and months as we begin to chart our course as an organization. 
We're looking forward to their participation as much as every 
presenter's as we develop a vision for where we want to go as an 
organization and as presenters in Tennessee.
