It was a very strong singing, will all parts well represented, but we had no more than 18 singers in the morning, dwindling to 10 in the afternoon. This singing has been in decline for at least five years; in 2010 we had 40 singers, then 35, then 26, and last year we had 20. Next year we are may have to discuss whether to continue the Jubilee Festival singing.

Claudia Dean brought in a single copy of the new printing of the New Harp of Columbia. No change except that a gray piece of paper has been bound in between pages 230 and 231, to help find the additional words to some of the songs recently (and a note that this is the second printing, 2014). More copies will be available soon.
