Please familiarize yourself with the general format and style of the minutes of other singings and use the same format and style for your minutes. • Name/Location/Date/Time Start the minutes with exactly three lines showing: 1) the name of the singing, 2) the location, and 3) the calendar date(s) on which it was held. Do not use all-caps. • Breaks Indicate breaks using RECESS or LUNCH, capitalized as shown, and on a line by themselves. • Multi-Day Singings Indicate the start of a second or third day of singing with the day and date spelled out on a line by itself. • Names Verify the spellings of all names. Do not put state names or abbreviations after singers’ names. Do not insert commas between the name and the first song number. • Song Numbers List songs only by number. List the name of a song only if the song does not appear in a printed singing book. If two songs begin on the same page, be sure to add lower-case “t” for top or “b” for bottom to the page number. For example: 31t or 49b. If a particular song is the only song beginning on its page, a “t” or “b” should not be used. For example: 306 (not 306b). • Other Singing Books Use abbreviations listed on page 44. • Memorial Lesson When listing those memorialized, please indicate the state of origin and year of death if known. • Officers List officers at the end of the minutes, ending with the name of the secretary. • Brevity Please be brief with any descriptions of business sessions, resolutions reports, memorial lessons, and expressions of thanks. Submitted minutes will be edited as needed for space reasons. • E-Mail Instructions and Deadlines Please see next page. • Payment Each singing must pay a fee to appear in the minutes and receive 10 copies of the minutes book per singing day.
