President's Message:


The July 20th meeting was filled with about 16 enthusiastic accordionists and some family members.  Taffy Steffen was visiting from California and was joined by her husband and son.  Taffy has been a member of RCAC for many years.


The business meeting was short.  The main discussion was regarding the August 17 meeting which is our annual picnic.  It will be held in our regular meeting place.  Beth McDonald and her family are catering the picnic lunch.  Members are asked to make a $10 donation to defray food costs.  Water will be provided but if you wish another type of drink, please bring your own.  The doors will open at 12:00 and eating will probably start around 12:30.  After we finish eating, individual playing will begin.  All club members are invited to attend.


There will be a board meeting August 5 from 1:00-3:00 pm at Delette Huffman's home in Canby.  The agenda goes out to board members a week prior to the meeting.  If members have ideas they wish discussed, please send to me.

​

Music circle leaders are wanted:  starting in October we will continue the Music Circle at noon before the business meeting and the entertainment.  In September I will ask for volunteers for October and the ensuring months.  Be brave--all you have to do is pick 5-6 songs, send them to me and I'll distribute them.  No, you don't need to conduct (unless you want to).  Just be there and play with the group.


Several members are attending the ATG conference in Kansas City, MO next week.  Their pictures and articles will be in the next update to the newsletter and website.


In the future we may have a follow-up to the ForScore workshops that Bobbie Ferrero prepared for us.  Stay tuned for that information.


Happy summer!
