Message from the President
Happy
New Year everyone!!
I hope you had a wonderful holiday season,
and are looking forward to the new year, as I am. The major subject for
discussion is our 2002 Forum to be held at Mercer University in Macon, GA,
February 14-16. Having just received
the working schedule, I can sincerely say that it looks like a superb
program! Our hostess, Bonnie Miksch, is
working hard with her colleagues to provide us with a wonderful Forum, and I
hope that everyone will be able to attend.
I have heard from our Vice President, Richard Montalto, that he will not
be attending this year’s meeting, but I think you will agree that expecting a
baby in the family at that time is a pretty good excuse. We all wish Rick and Donna all the best in
the arrival of their new offspring. So that you can make your travel plans to
the Forum, the hotel information and the program schedule have been emailed to
all of those of you for whom we have email addresses, and will also be included
elsewhere in this newsletter. Note that
the $59 hotel rate is only guaranteed until Jan. 15, so you will need to call
right away for a reservation. Bonnie
will be sending you more Forum details by mail.
This
is also the time for 2002 dues to be paid.
Our treasurer, Chic Ball, will be looking for your checks to update the
membership list. You will not be
receiving a “dues due” notice, so consider this Music Now as your notification.
I’m
off to the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts next week for an intensive
month of writing, but will see you all at the Forum in February.
Sincerely,
Donna Kelly Eastman
