Over the years this book has been an invaluable guide to singers and friends of Sacred Harp all across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This book is provided with the hope that it will serve as a useful tool to inform and unify the Sacred Harp people. Please use this book to review the proceedings of last year’s singings and conventions; to plan your attendance at singings and conventions this year; and to keep in touch with each other. Looking ahead to the coming year, we want to thank the secretaries for your help and coordination. It is important that you submit your minutes and payment within two weeks after your singing. Please take the time to review the “How To Submit Minutes” and “Computer Instructions” pages. Also, please look in this edition at your minutes entry for last year, and use it as a guideline for your minutes for this year. Finally, we hope and pray that you will attend and enjoy the blessings of Sacred Harp singings as much as you can. Shelbie Sheppard Jeff Sheppard David Ivey 2 HOW TO SUBMIT MINUTES Before you prepare the minutes for your singing, please familiarize yourself with the general format and style of the minutes of other singings and try to use the same format and style for your minutes. The following pointers may also be helpful: • Name/Location/Date/Time Please start the minutes with three lines showing the name of the singing, the location, the calendar date on which it was held. • Breaks Please indicate breaks using RECESS or LUNCH, capitalized and on a line by themselves. • Two-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 Please try to 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 Please list songs only by number. List the name of a song only if the song does not appear in The Sacred Harp, 1991 Edition. If two songs begin on the same page, be sure to add “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). • Memorial Lesson When listing those memorialized, please indicate the state of origin and year of death if known. If convenient, list those from the same state together. • Officers Please list the new officers at the end of the minutes, ending with the name of the secretary who is submitting the minutes. • Payment Each singing must pay a fee to appear in the minutes. The fee entitles the singing to receive 10 copies of the minutes book per singing day. Minutes received without payment will not appear in the book. • Fees $37 per singing day if you want the books mailed to you -or- $30 per singing day if you will pick up the books in person • Check Payable To Sacred Harp Minutes • Submit To Shelbie Sheppard 617 Ayers Drive Anniston, AL 36207 (256) 237-1240 3 COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONS If you are using a computer to prepare your minutes, you can save us from re-typing them by sending the minutes on disk or by e-mail. Both Macintosh and PC users are welcome to send disks. Please follow the directions below carefully. • Before You Start First read How to Submit Minutes on page 3, and follow the instructions. If your minutes are not formatted correctly, we will have to re-type them. • Formatting Do not use bold, italics, underline, or other special formatting. Do not center the title. Do not type the title in upper case. We will add these formatting elements later. • Hard Returns Never insert returns in the middle of a paragraph—instead, allow paragraphs to wrap to the full column width. Include hard returns (¶ marks or line breaks) only at the end of paragraphs and single lines. Don’t use two returns in a row. • File Format When done editing, please save the file in “Text Only” format (this will intentionally remove any special formatting you may have used, such as bold or italic). If your word processor offers a choice between Text Only and Text Only With Line Breaks—be sure to choose Text Only because Text Only With Line Breaks will insert unwanted hard returns into the file. • File Name Save the file with a name that is only eight characters or fewer. Add the extension “.TXT”, indicating that it is a text file. For example: LIBERTY.TXT. • Disk Format Use a 3.5-inch floppy disk formatted for DOS. Macintosh users: if you have System 7.5 or later and/or PC Exchange, you can format a DOS disk using the Erase Disk command — or, send by e-mail. • To Submit by E-Mail If you have access to e-mail, send the file as an attachment to: [email protected]. Don’t include the minutes in the message body itself unless you are certain that the mail program will not add unwanted hard returns. • Always Send a Printout Please mail a printout along with your payment. This allows us to re-type the minutes in the event the disk or e-mail attachment is damaged or unreadable. • Questions Please direct formatting questions to Chris Thorman at [email protected]. • Web Help A web page with helpful hints, tools, and examples has been prepared for your reference at: http://fasola.org/minutes/ 4 SACRED HARP SINGINGS 2002 DIRECTORY ANNUAL SINGINGS Note: Fifth Sunday singings are included here by their dates, and in addition are listed in a separate section starting on page 27, with explanations of the formulas for determining their dates.
