At this time, national dues have been sent to the ARS. Members may individually

As in past years, groups are invited to participate in the Holiday
Open House on Sun Dec 2 from 12:00 to 4:00. It is a fun event and
provides an opportunity for us to showcase our talents. At the Oct 17 meeting,
the Corelli Clash, Sweetbriar II Consort and Crow Hill Consort expressed
an interest. Ole will coordinate and post the times.
Workshop Committee News
Jutta and Darleen volunteered to work with Lee on organizing this year’s
workshop. Sue will also be asked to coordinate the Eddy facility. This has been
a successful event for the past several years, well supported by chapter
membership. Please forward your suggestions to Lee.
Music Library
Use of the music library for personal or consort use is encouraged.
Current rules of library use are as follows:
-
Only members of the Chapter may check out music and other materials.
-
Music must be signed out on the sign out form.
-
Duration of loan is 2-3 months.
-
Music should be returned to Lee Danielson at any meeting.
All questions should be directed to Lee.
President's Corner
To gather ideas for this column, I perused back issues of the American
Recorder Chapters & Consorts section. While other chapters have many of the
activities we host – workshops, performances, guest conductors - I feel we may
be unique in that we possess a rich musical library. Thanks to Lee for his
organizational skills and to all who have, and will continue, to be
contributors. With that in mind, I am presenting a challenge to one of our
member coaches - to prepare and coach music solely from our library.
- Ole Christensen, Pres.
