Announcements

WOTFA is now offering online lessons for the Tune of the Month.  On the First Monday of each month, WOTFA will host an online learning session featuring the Tune of the Month.  To register go to https://lms.wotfa.org.  You will need to register on the website if you have not already done so.  Follow the links for the Online learning from WOTFA.

From the Editor

The Evergreen Fiddler is going digital!

Starting January 1, 2021, we will be discontinuing the printed newsletter and sending it to your email instead.

This decision was not an easy one to make.  With declining membership, increasing costs and a growing cry from the membership, the Board has decided to move the newsletter to an all digital format.  There will be a transitional period between now and the end of the year.  You will continue to receive the newsletter in your mail, and you will also receive one in your email.

If you do not have access to email, or you don't do computers, and you need a paper copy mailed to you, please send a letter or email to:

Bonni Wuennecke

3024 W 7th Ave
KennewickWA 99336

bonniwuenn@frontier.com

Please take the time to check out the new format.  The new format promises to provide more content for what our members are requesting.  You will still have the Tune of the Month with additional features. The events for the month will be listed in each newsletter and you can browse the website for more content than we could ever put in the newsletter.

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we go through this transition.
