Hello everyone!  It’s already August, so I hope you are having a happy summer and taking advantage of the many music festivals all around the Northwest.  By the time this newsletter comes out, many of you will have attended the workshop and have made great progress with your music skills.

District 6 had an enjoyable jam on June 3rd.  We were surprised again by unexpected folks coming to play.  Here are a few pictures of that time together.  Thanks to everyone who came.  We hope you all come again.

       

Our next meeting/jam will be held on Sat, Sept. 2nd from 11 am to 4 pm.  Mark your calendars and make that a priority.  We always enjoy getting together  after the summer break to jam, have a short meeting, then a shared finger food lunch, and more jamming.  Everyone is welcome.

Also, in September, we will have a jam from 1 pm to 4 pm and this year it falls on Sept. 23rd.  It is always prudent to check the website, WOTFA.org under the calendar before you come (or email me) because things sometimes change.

I reported in the June/July newsletter that Muriel Ethel Hardison, one of our longtime members who we haven’t seen for awhile, died recently.  Muriel had quite an interesting and involved life that is highlighted in her obituary.  You can find it on the Evergreen Washelli website if you are interested.  The website is: dignitymemorial.com.

Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the summer and don’t forget to play music too!

Until next month.
