2/13/12
Thanks for contacting me so quickly. I'm VP for chapter development for
the Bozeman Chord Rustlers in Bozeman, Montana, an active chapter (either
the most active or right up there among Montana's 7 chapters) with about
35 actually active singers. We will be joined this spring by 16 members
of the Missoula chapter (i.e., dual members) (200 miles west of us) to
compete at our division contest. Like perhaps 6 of our chapter members,
I attended a Chuck Greene seminar about a year ago and still have the
info on that, and like 2 other chapter officers I attended a division
leadership academy 2 weekends ago that had 5 or so hours of chapter development
information, including information on the Harold Hill program. I'm recommending
to our chapter that we use parts of the Harold Hill program numbers 13
(social media, at least for advertizing our upcoming March 3 show), #10
I Sing, #12 Personal recruiter, #11 Radio (our M and P VP and his quartet
will do at least 2 radio interviews Monday and Tuesday to plug our Singing
Valentines and the March 3 show). #7 church letter and #9 former member
letter.
I've been a barbershopper since 1981 and am a prior chapter president,
prior district member at large on the Board of directors, and prior district
YIH coordinator. Our Big Sky Youth Harmony Rendezvous, a 4 day Harmony
explosion type camp that I was intstrumental in starting, will have its
10th annual BSYHR this June, with probably 70 youth participating.
Our chapter website is www.chordrustlers.com and out Rendezvous website
is www.harmonyrendezvous.org
Regarding my professional background, I am a family practice physician,
now semi-retired, just working a few days a month at a local urgent care
facility. I retired from the USAF in 1988. My two children are both married,
living away from Bozeman -- son age 34, daughter age 31.
Singcerely yours,
Frank L. Johnson, M.D

Dear Bari,
Thanks for calling twice. I'm sorry I missed your calls. The Chord Rustlers
have done the following so far since we signed up with Harold Hill --
1) had our annual show, with advertizements around the community, and
spots on local radio and TV plus info about the chorus in the program
2) made up business cards -- all the members have them -- and all now
have I SING buttons -- we'll give out the business cards as men ask about
our buttons 3) I've made up a modification of the Chuck Greene letter
for first time visitors with specific info about our chorus -- and give
them out to the visitors 4) I follow up with a phone call to the visitors
and our chorus director calls them using basically the Chuck Greene checklist.
Plans include writing to the local choir directors and to our former members.
We have planning meeting for the chorus scheduled for later this month
and will decide whether or not to have an open house.
Thanks for your interest!
