"There's a motion" "I second it!" "All those in favor?" Board meetings can sound like pretty dry stuff, but tonight's meeting held a special guest who works in helping Non-profit's (Like Great River Strings and the Ripple River Strings) operate with more vision towards the future. This was accomplished with the sharing of some pretty neat ideas and visions. One thing was unanimous, that we have a pretty darn good music operation with some fine talent! Visions included "quality music" "financial stability" and to "keep educating musicians". The Board meets twice a year. The next meeting will be in January of 2013. If any orchestra members have questions, comments, ideas or concerns for the board, be sure to pass them along to Lynn Foote, Becky Jones, David Lang, Jean-Paul or myself.
Just a reminder of tomorrow night's final practice (Tuesday, June 19th)for the summer session. Don't forget to wash the pizza grease off your fingers before you pick up your fiddles! Arnie says to come at 6pm to eat pizza, then we'll practice after.
Our final gig will be Thursday, June 21st at Crosby Park. Be there and ready to play at 6pm. Don't forget a stand if you think you'll need one, but I bet you know more of these songs by heart than you think!
It was an especially pretty ride home from Aitkin to Brainerd after the meeting.
