JMTA October General Minutes
JMTA GENERAL MEETING – October 12, 2011
Keyboard Connection
Members Present:  (15) Beth Martelli, Betty Atkinson, Lynn Freeman, Martha McKie, Lindsay Johnson, Susan Figlietti, Tara Mock, Sandra Roberts, Lorraine Eaton, Lydia Sanchez, Sue Holder, Maureen Rhodes, Mary Wingfield, Erin Bennett, Denise Homsley

The meeting was called to order at 9:35 a.m. by President Beth Martelli.  The minutes were read and approved.

In Paulette Kilts’ absence, the Treasurer’s Report was given by Denise Homsley.

Committee Reports:
Altruistic:  Mary Wingfield reported Paulette Kilts’ mother is terminally ill and a card was passed for everyone to sign.

High Notes:  Tara Mock reminded everyone that the password recently emailed to all members must not be shared outside JMTA.  The next High Notes deadline is October 20.

Historian:  Lorraine reported the scrapbooks are available for viewing.

Membership:  Lorraine Eaton reminded everyone that the information in the new membership directory comes from membership renewal information. She reported she has received 30 % of the survey responses.  A link to respond to the survey may also be found on the JMTA Facebook page.

Lorraine introduced a visitor, Michelle Huang, originally from Tallahassee, but currently teaching at Edward Waters College.  Lorraine also reported regarding two new members:  Lorie Burningham and Pamela Searcy.

Piano Festival:  Sue Holder read Paulette Kilts’ report on the Festival.  Lynn Freeman read the list of music stores and filled pianos.  Upon Paulette’s recommendation for a discussion, it was determined to leave the rehearsal times intact at Kelly’s and the extra time afforded by the one group cancellation will be filled with extra practice time for the other groups.  She also reported that a revised contract with UNF now includes the sales tax.  Paulette also thanked committee members for their work thus far.  Maureen Rhodes announced that the duet team selection has been moved to October 17, 2011.  Sandra Roberts suggested teachers place ads in the program book; however, due to time constraints this may be implemented in future Piano Festival programs.  A motion was made by Beth Martelli, and seconded, to have an invocation of a general nature at the Piano Festival.  After discussion, the motion carried.  Sue Holder announced that three students are needed to read narrations at the Piano Festival.

Programs:  Lindsay Johnson announced the November JMTA meeting will be a teachers’ rehearsal at Kelly’s Piano & Organ.

Scholarship:  Beth Martelli announced this program is available for high school seniors who plan to major in music.

Social:  Beth Martelli thanked Lydia Sanchez for all the delicious refreshments.
Student Day:  Denise Homsley reported that she has submitted a request to FSCJ to hold Student Day on their campus on January 28, 2012.

Recitals:  Beth Martelli announced the next Student Recital will be held December 11, 2011.

Yearbook:  Lorraine Eaton distributed the new 2011-2012 member directories.
New Business: Erin Bennett announced she has been in discussion with personnel at The Achievement Program to hold a teacher information session in Jacksonville on December 3, 2011.  She asked for a show of hands for all who may be interested in attending the session.

The meeting adjourned at 10:10 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Denise Homsley
JMTA Recording Secretary
