President's Message: 

Welcome to spring!  Crocuses and apple trees are blooming.  We're even having some 60 degree days.  A most welcome change from winter weather.

Our March 18 meeting was a productive practice of "Moscow Nights".  It's the song we will perform at the Forest Grove Social on April 23.  After that practice the music circle songs were led by Jeff Nelson and Lynn Haldeman.  Club members have been wanting more challenging music.  Lynn has arranged some of our music to have it more interesting.  Many thanks to him for doing that. 

Following the group play we enjoyed beautiful solos played by the members.

Planning for the RCAC 2023 camp continues with Delette Huffman at the helm.  She communicates with Collins Retreat Center in Eagle Creek, OR to make sure everything will go smoothly.  Thank you Delette for the hours you put into this camp.  

We are in need of a Camp Director for 2025.  Delette will do 2023 and 2024 but we'd like someone to shadow her to see the complete picture for camp prepartion and the actual event.  Later on the website is more information for anyone who may be interested.  

Two meeting dates have changed:  April 8 is the April meeting.  The May meeting is May 27.  The community room is being used for police training and other activities.  We are so grateful to be able to use this room so we willing accomodate their plans.  

If anyone reading this is a member of Rose City Accordion Club but didn't receive the March newsletter, it's probably because your dues haven't been paid for 2023.  Susan Schwab, Treasurer, and I have diligently kept track as we have bills to pay so need to know who has paid their dues.  Starting this month the newsletter only goes to those who have paid dues for 2023.  Later on this website is information for paying dues.

Enjoy the springtime and keep playing those accordions.
