Hi Everyone! And happy almost springtime.

For the month of March we will be having our usual meeting and open jam on Friday, March 10th (rescheduled from March 3rd) from 10am-Noon at Faith Baptist Church in Chehalis.

The church is located at 436 Coal Creek Road.  To find the church take I-5 to exit 79, then head EAST. Turn LEFT on N. National Ave and go 1/3 mile, then turn RIGHT onto
Coal Creek Rd. Go 1.1 miles, then turn RIGHT into the Church driveway.  We are usually in the middle building.

For our tune of the month, since it is close to St Patrick’s Day, we’ll be doing ‘Southwind’, a beautiful and easy to learn Irish Waltz in the key of G. I’ll have music to pass out for anyone that wants a copy.

Also for the month of March I’ll be passing out the revised District 9 tunelist as well as copies of the the District 9 chord sheets that has chords for all of the tunes in the D9 tunelist.
Please us the chord sheets as much as possible and get back to me with any changes that you have. I would like to have it finalised by the time we break for the summer so that it’s ready to go for FiddleCamp and all the fun summertime activities.

Speaking of FiddleCamp, the lineup of instructors and activities for 2023 looks outstanding, and registration will be coming right up on Monday April 3rd, so if you haven’t joined WOTFA yet or renewed your membership, now is the time to do it. Registration will be 100% online as far as I know, so if you are a snail-mail person (like me), there can be a delay in registration if you’re not a member at the time FiddleCamp registration opens, and classes will fill up fast.

If you are age 17 or younger and plan on attending FiddleCamp, please let me know, District 9 will be happy to provide you with a tuition scholarship for any class or classes you would like to attend. You can preview the lineup by going to the WOTFA webpage and following the link to the FiddleCamp website.

If you have questions or need more information, please call or text me (Christie) at 360-791-5185

Thanks and be well everybody!
