Compellingly Attractive Chapter Meetings
"Creating The Future for the Winnipeg Chapter with CACM"
This program was designed to rejuvenate barbershop chapters for both music and
membership growth, by offering opportunities for each member to be CREATIVE,
LEARN new skills, be ENERGIZED by diversity, ENJOY variety, be APPRECIATED for
their talents, have a VOICE changing things for the better, ----all with FUN interwoven!
The backbone of the Compellingly Attractive Chapter Meetings lies with the Music
Team, with the support of our Executive, and their commitment to the program,
and their ability to execute and follow through. The receptive and willing response
you have shown already to the Song Learning Method (SLM), has provided our
Chapter with the enthusiasm to carry this through. The SLM has accelerated our
learning curve for new songs, and with the aid of sectionals and new learning
tools, the CACM program will enhance the attractiveness of Chapter meetings for
everyone. By encouraging a variety of fun activities such as quartetting and vocal
technique classes, the benefits to all of us will be huge. The time spent rehearsing
a song becomes more about developing members' skills and talents, and as a result of this program, the song will be performed greatly!
Our Chapter has the potential to become a vibrant, thriving organization, larger
and more valuable for all of us than it is today. To do that, the Chapter will offer
more fun and value to your discretionary time than we currently do.
By following some great new strategies found in this program, we will become
more attractive to all whom we perform! In the near term, our chapter meetings
will become compellingly attractive events, full of fun and valuable use of our
time. We will grow! In the long term, our chapter will become a great organization
that accomplishes its goals in great ways!
The strategies we will be incorporating are practical and well-suited to our chapter. They involve every member, both new and existing, and your willingness to
get involved in new activities and new participative roles to get this done! We will
"Seek, develop, use and enhance the skills and talents of each member!"

A view of the Christmas show by a young lady (Doogies Daughter
The voices lined up and burst with a heavenly explosion into an angelic note, which
multiplied into a full-out song... the notes rippled over the room like the calm waves
after high tide, numbing everything with its melody... the notes floated out of them
and flew around, piling in each one's ear... the notes were mixed and blended like a
large bowl of thick, warm soup... the music draped, spun, and danced like a silken
wave of heavenly rose... it was like taffy, stretched and released as the music
pranced along the bar of notes.
