President's Message
Hello, everyone. I hope this season finds everyone well. We have several
new members to welcome this year. We also have an exciting spring coming up. We
have a workshop on April 16th that I hope you all will find convenient. It
should be exciting. In addition to being expanded to two teachers this year, it
promises to be even more enlightening. Also, please remember we have our spring
recital in June. The more surprises we have at that, the better we all enjoy
it. Finally, before long we'll be cooking for the picnic. Time goes much too
quickly. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Spring Recital
This year the Recital will be on Wednesday May 18th at 7:30 P.M.
in the Pruyn House. Take note that we have changed the date to a Wednesday in
May. In prior years, both the Fall and the Spring Recitals were on Thursday,
the traditional Church Choir rehearsal day. Many people had conflicts and could
not participate in either the Fall or the Spring Recital.
If you plan on performing this year please contact Darleen Koreman stating your
intent. Reaffirm with her your plans at least a few days before the recital so
that she can assemble the program in an interesting and pleasing order.
Picnic
The picnic is again scheduled at 6:00 P.M. at the Pruyn House. We have
Joe Loux leading us after the meal with a program titled "Thoughts of Love".
Please contact Darleen Koreman so the food items can be balanced and
coordinated.
The date is June 19th. Mark your calendar for a great evening of food and
music.
Membership
Membership has increased by more than 20% to 31 members this year. A
warm welcome to Amy Callinan, Will Crowther, Sandy Lawrence, Fredda Peritz, and
Carol Turner.

Each year scholarship money is available through our local Chapter for
workshops and other educational opportunities. A brief written request is all
that is necessary to be considered.

letter to Sue Wright, Jutta VonSchwerin or Emmy Grubb.

New Location
In a recent conversation with Debbie Segel, she told me that her
business has moved and expanded. Just recently the Violin Shop moved to 44
Third Street in Troy, NY and now includes a gift gallery, original artwork and
recorder music and instruments. She urges everyone to stop in to say "hello" or
visit her websites: www.violinsdirect.com or
www.deborahsegel.com.
Amherst Workshop
The long weekend including Memorial Day, May 27-30, 2005, Amherst Early
Music will hold a three-day workshop at Dominican College located in
Orangeburg, NY; a short easy drive to an excellent workshop.
