Greetings all,
September is right around the corner, but here is one more summer bulletin to update you on some things that just don't want to wait until we officially resume in the fall.
A new PRS website is underway! Please have patience with us while this is in the works over the next few weeks. We realize the old site is not up to date. The new site will enable us to edit and update much more readily, without knowing any fancy computer languages!
The first playing session of the season is Sept. 17th at 7:30pm, Kennedy School Community room, as usual. Peter Seibert from Seattle will again be our gracious conductor. All the sessions in the upcoming year will be on third Fridays.
Membership fees are due in September! $40 is all we ask for you to come to all the playing sessions, coached by professionals. Please bring a cash or check to the first playing session.
Look for the first 2010-2011 edition of the PRS newsletter in your inboxes on Sept. 12th!
Thanks for your continued support and enthusiasm!
