Mark your calendars now for the 2014 Siskiyou Summit Handbell Conference set for  May 9-10 in Ashland, Oregon. I am pleased to announce that our Guest Conductor/Clinician for 2014 is Area 10's own Fred Gramann. Ringing under him is a delightful privilege as he is a wonderful teacher and fine musician. The theme for this year's Siskiyou Summit is Spirit and is reflected in the repertoire choices, which are suitable for Lent, Easter and Pentecost. Ellie Hodder will once again conduct the Bronze Conference Choir with Fred conducting the Massed Ringing and both The Siskiyous and Cascades groups.

 

Registration for the event will be $65/ringer if registered by March 1st, after March 1st registration will be $75/person.  Registration materials will be available beginning January 1st, space is limited so register early. If you wish to receive your registration materials electronically please contact Diane Barnes at dkbarnes@jeffnet.org with your e-mail contact information.

 

National Board Elections

 

Be sure to vote online during the month of March!

 

     At the end of September, we will say farewell to three national board members who have served Handbell Musicians of America for the past six years: president Lee Afdahl and at-large members Stephanie Wiltse and Phil Roberts. National elections take place in March to determine the three who will join ongoing board members Ed Rollins (who becomes president on October 1), Stephanie Rhoades, Steve Shorney, and Jessica Westgard.

 

     Seeking a three-year term as president-elect, which will cycle into a three-year term as president are Tracy DePue and P.L Grove. Running for the two open at-large positions are Rick Heine, Derek Nance, Claudette Rothwell, and Jennifer Vangolen.

 

     To streamline the process and make it easier for all members to make their selection, voting will be handled through a new online ballot. Voting begins March 1. Voting instructions can be found at handbellmusicians.org/howtovote. You can read about all of our candidates and view video interviews with them at election.HandbellMusicians.org.
