INC NEWS - symphony

[Melissa Rooney]

I truly hope that I didn't offend anyone by my use of
the symphony priority as my example for the weighted
voting. It really was just the first example that came
to mind. My daughter plays the violin and we are
grateful for (and hope one day she can participate) in
the Duryam Symphony. I'm also glad to see that it has
become a priority.

Just a little clarification. I hate the thought of
pissing anyone off (or bumming anyone out).

Your best friend :)
