<p><font size="+3">Friends,</font></p>
<font size="+3"> </font>
<p><font size="+3">Our traditional December HDAA social event with
business meeting is </font><font size="+3">almost here:
scheduled as a Zoom gathering at 10:00 a.m. (CST) </font><font
size="+3">Saturday morning (12/5/20). </font><font size="+3">The
link established for practice sessions has worked so well it
seems unwise to change it for the real thing. So, let's just
keep it. It's below (in color).<br>
</font></p>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><font size="+3">Highly acclaimed musicians Lisa Duncan
Williams, Benny Pitsinger, and Allen Pendleton have practiced
about five songs for this "virtual Thiokol shindig." They have
tried out Zoom and made some technical adjustments to bring it a
little closer to broadcast quality, but having a concert on Zoom
is still a development effort. And, we have the excitement
somewhat like the first firing of a newly designed rocket motor.
Remember those? </font></div>
<p><font size="+2"><font size="+3">Other talented musicians Philip
Franklin, Jamie Neidert,</font> <font size="+3">and Glenn
Hamer</font></font> <font size="+3">will kick off our event
with solos </font><font size="+2"><font size="+3">of three
Christmas songs that are not so well known - for novelty and
interest purposes Jamie says. </font></font></p>
<p><font size="+3">Tom Bryant will open the business meeting with a
traditional moment of silence for colleagues we have lost during
the past year. Bill Barnes will have an opening prayer. Tom and
Gerald Roberts have a sufficient slate of candidate 2021 HDAA
officers and 2021-23 board members for us to approve (hopefully)
and there are still openings to be filled if we can twist more
arms. Tom will brief us on Charlie Thomas's financial report and
Glenn Webb will update us on the Thiokol Greenway near the old
plant site.</font></p>
<font size="+3">The current Zoom link (and detailed input if needed)
is below. This is the same we have been using for practice
sessions.</font>
<p><font size="+3">You might note that during the concert periods
everyone not performing will be muted by the "host." At that
time you may elect to go to the "view" icon at the top right
corner of your screen and click on "speaker view" to maximize
the size of the musician's window and later click on "gallery
view" to see the matrix of other participants. (If anyone knows
how the host can make that automatic we would love you to tell
us how.) <br>

<p><font size="+3">Do p</font><font size="+3"><font size="+3">lan to
join in the fun!!!</font></font></p>

<font size="+2">Cecil Stokes is inviting you to scheduled Zoom
meeting Saturday morning. The meeting's window will open between
9:00 and 9:30 to get "warmed up" and the meeting will start at
10:00 a.m. (CST).</font><br>
