  • Dixie District HOD Announcement
  •  
  •  Date Posted: Mon, Mar 21 2022


    In late 2019, our Board of Directors received a request by one of the members we serve to investigate the possibility of changing the name.  In 2020, we opened discussions amongst the board about this subject.  After several long discussions and debates, we decided to send a survey to our members to get the pulse of the district in regards to this. There was quite a bit of resistance to the idea of it, with 48% of the respondents being either Against or Strongly Against the change, while 37% were For or Strongly For the change.  This sparked another round of conversation in the Board, who were also divided on the matter, so it was eventually decided to create a task force to investigate whether or not the name should be changed.  After several very productive conversations, the task force recommended that the name be changed.  The Board then accepted the recommendation and delivered it to the delegates of the chapters ahead of the House of Delegates meeting on March 20.  We asked the delegates to have conversations with their respective chapters and to be prepared to vote on the matter at the upcoming meeting.  A motion was made that the name should be changed (without any suggestions as to a new name) and a roll call vote was taken.  There were 17 votes against, 15 in favor, and 1 abstention, so the motion failed.  A further breakdown shows that the Board members voted 7 to 6 against, with chapter delegates voting 10 to 9 against, 1 abstention.  With the failure of the motion, we continue to be the Dixie District.  The task force is officially disbanded as its original directive was completed and the failure of the motion means that no more directives will be given. We want to thank the task force for their diligent work and contribution to the discussion.

    What this has shown is that we are fortunate to have a lot of people that are passionate about the future of our district.  We are sure that there will be more discussion about this because of this passion. What's clear is that we all love our district and we want it to grow and prosper.  For now, we are turning our attention to our members and how we can best serve them.  We look forward to seeing everyone in Alabaster!

    Chordially,
    Paul Blazek
    Dixie District President

    During our District Board meeting this weekend, we discussed ways to safely hold our 2021 Fall Contest in Oxford, AL. Unfortunately, after reviewing multiple scenarios, we decided that it would be in the best interest of the District if we do not hold convention this year. We are continuing to monitor trends as we navigate this difficult pandemic, and hope to bring good news soon about our Spring Convention in Alabaster, AL.

    Our President, Paul Blazek, will go into more detail on our decision in the next Town Crier..

  •  Date Posted: Thu, Mar 12 2020
    After lengthy discussions and careful consideration, the Dixie District Board of Directors has decided to cancel our upcoming Spring Convention on March 20-22, 2020. The novel coronavirus has been spreading quickly through our communities, and disproportionately impacts the immunocompromised and individuals over 60. Due to this, we want to take every precaution to keep our members and their families, friends, and communities safe. After reviewing options, we agreed that the best course of action was to not gather at this time.

    We are currently coordinating with SCJC and BHS to come up with options for our quartets that intend to qualify for International, and will deliver the information as soon as we finalize a plan. We will do all that we can to maintain the qualification process.

    We apologize for the inconvenience, and we are working to come up with a solution for later in the year. Details will follow in the coming weeks, so please keep an eye out for them.

    Thank you everyone for working with us through this complicated issue.

    Yours in Harmony,
    Your Dixie District Board of Directors

    UPDATE 3/13/2020

    For those that have already registered for contest next weekend, we are working with Eventbrite to get your registration fee refunded. We will send you an email with details soon.

    For those who have booked hotel rooms, please contact your hotels to cancel your reservations.

While he plans to continue to sing with the Music City Chorus, the time has come to retire from the extra duties associated with the district newsletter editor position. David is a retired teacher and prin-cipal originally from Ohio. In addition to his career in education he spent 23 years as a reporter, photogra-pher, columnist, and editor for The Leader Enterprise in Montpelier, Ohio. David has also spent much of the decade as editor of The Huzzah, the Nashville Chapter newsletter, a position from which he is also retiring. David and his wife Barbara will use some of their extra time making trips to Ohio to help to care for Barbara’s father and step-mother. 

    A new editor for the Dixie Town Crier is expected to be named soon. Watch the Dixie District webpage for upcoming information.
