Hi Seattlelites!
First, let me say a couple of HUGE thank yous for a really successful SeaTUG meeting.
Thanks to...
EMP who joined our family in style by hosting in their amazing space.
Tessitura for providing special guest stars, administrative support, and snacks and refreshments in the social hour.
All the local people who helped in the planning: Maryke VanBeuzekom & Nichole Mines (5th Ave), Jen Maier (PNB), Kanani Knudson (SCT), Tracy Reich & Kristina Murti (Seattle Opera), Jon Leland (EMP), and Rica Wolken (ACT). And others I know I'm missing as I don't have a list of all those who participated in the planning phone call.
Orgs who stepped up to present - Seattle Opera and Seattle Children's Theatre. You rock!
Seattle Symphony who tentatively volunteered to host the next SeaTUG.
Everyone who came - I saw, heard and participated in some great cross organization conversations.
-----------
Now, on to the embarrassing (for me) part. Tons of you approached me at the reception to say you'd be willing to help plan the next SeaTUG. And I'm totally sad to say that I've somehow misplaced all my notes and stuck business cards in some yet to be found location. SO. If you are interested and willing to step and and help shape future SeaTUGs, could you do me a huge favor and shoot me an email at heatherk@seattlerep.org?
Thanks all!
Heather
P.S. Please encourage your fellow Tessi cohorts at your organization to join this Seattle Tessitura Users group so it is easier for us to reach out to everyone. I promise we're a very low bandwidth group and won't spam inboxes too much.
Heather - thanks for your great note. I want to just add my "Thanks" to YOU for your help and support of SeaTUG in general and for this recent gathering specifically.
To the rest of you in the Seattle Area listening area... Heather is very willing to share the fun with others - so please raise your hands (again) and let her know of your interesting in helping pull more gatherings together and to continue the great idea sharing and collaboration we witnessed at the meeting at the EMP Museum.
Cheers
