President`s Perspective - Original Dulcimer Players Club Home

President’s Perspective
Every year as we work to prepare for the festival, we are also
planning for the future. The leadership of this club has a
vision moving forward of where we want to be in five or ten
years and beyond. We make provisions for the longevity of
the club and festival, while continuing to keep an eye on the past, the
traditions that make FunFest so special.
As we approach yet another election, we look to find people with a fresh
outlook, who are willing to spend the time and effort it takes to keep
us on track with this vision of keeping this festival relevant for years to
come. If this is something you feel fits you, please consider volunteering
to run for office, contribute your talents in some other capacity and/or
volunteer to work at the gates or the ODPC Office during the FunFest.

Great New Shirt Design for 2015
Shirts will be a hot seller this year at the ODPC Funfest! The new design,
created by member and graphic designer Katie Moritz, has something
that will appeal to everyone. Shirts will be available in a variety of colors
and sizes and will be sold on Friday and Saturday from 12-9 p.m. When
they are sold out, there will be no more available. If you want one, shop
early! Only a limited number will be available. If you don’t want to be
disappointed, don’t wait long to buy yours!
New Membership Plan
by Gail Perna
At the May 2 meeting, the board
approved part of a plan it was given
for review in February. This plan
will help to shift the burden of expenses of running the ODPC from
a portion of its membership to be
shared by everyone who enjoys the
ODPC-sponsored FunFest.
To accomplish this, the board
voted to increase the cost of festival
attendance from $5 to $7. For loyal
members this will mean a drop in
festival costs, because no additional
dues will be charged. Every person
who comes to the festival will pay
$7 for admission, and every person
who pays admission can go to the
office with an admission ribbon
by 5:00 on Saturday to register as a
member. Dues are included in the

cost of admission for those who wish to join.
One of the benefits of removing a separate payment for dues, and shifting
the financial basis of the club to admissions, will be the removal of the
password from the web site.
For members who read the newsletter online, there will be a decrease in
admission and dues from $10 last year to $7 this year. For couples who
paid $15 last year for 2 admissions and a family membership, the cost will
now be $14. Members who want to receive a printed newsletter by mail
will now pay a subscription fee of $5, the same amount they previously
paid for dues. This will help to cover the $6 it costs the ODPC to provide
one newsletter subscription for a year.
There are some who join or renew their memberships who do not attend
Funfest. They will still pay $5 in dues. Those not attending FunFest who
previously received their newsletters by mail will continue to do so at no
additional charge. However, new members who wish to receive a mailed
newsletter will need to pay an additional $5 for a subscription.
There will be no more family memberships. Each membership is individual and includes one vote in an election. Each person who wishes to enjoy
the privileges of membership will need to register that membership at the
ODPC Office during FunFest. All members who wish to sell up to two
used instruments during the festival, or who want to enter the dulcimer
drawing held on Saturday night of festival, must be registered members.
If you’ve already paid dues for 2015 and beyond, you can get a refund of
those dues by going to the ODPC Office during festival office hours.

Register Your Membership at
the Festival This Year!
by Gail Perna
You will be pleasantly surprised
when you go to the ODPC Office
to renew your membership. If you
show your admission ribbon to the
office worker, you will not have to
pay a $5 renewal fee. Everyone who
goes to the festival can become an
ODPC member and will be given
a membership card, if the person
goes to the ODPC Office before
5:00 on Saturday.
If you currently receive your newsletter by mail, you will need to pay
$5 for a subscription to continue to
receive a mailed version.
If you want to renew your membership but do not attend FunFest, you
can do so by mailing $5 in dues to
the ODPC treasurer, Peg Earl. Her
address is shown on the last page of
the newsletter.
New ODPC Internet Sites! Check them out!
by Gail Perna
The ODPC has established a brand new FunFest website and a new club website. Publicity Chair Scott Freeman
has created a new FunFest web site which you can view at: www.evartdulcimerfest.org. Scott has done an amazing job in representing the ODPC on the Internet. Be sure to check it out! Scott has also updated the ODPC
Facebook page, and he frequently adds new photos and information. If you have a Facebook account, just search
for Original Dulcimer Players Club and “Like” the page. You will receive Scott’s ODPC Facebook posts on your
newsfeed. In addition, Secretary Sue Crandle has completed work on an ODPC club web site for newsletters and
other club documents. That web site can be found at www.originaldulcimerplayers.org.
The ODPC Board wishes to
thank Sharon Skaryd for generously giving her time and web
space to the ODPC and its festival. We have all visited Sharon’s
web site at www.dulcimers.com.
Sharon will continue to link to
the club’s new sites from her own
web site.

admission ribbon. Those who are interested in helping with ribbon pinning should come to the Community Room Tuesday morning at 10 a.m.

Stage Show Decorum
People were very considerate last
year during the stage shows when
making purchases at the CD sales
area! Thank you for this courtesy,
especially for those who happened
to be sitting close by. And, thanks
also from those performers on
stage who appreciate your respectful behavior.
There is one area where improvement would be helpful. Please stay
clear of the backstage area, and
sides of the stage, throughout the
shows. If you want to meet with a
performer, wait until the show is
over. If you are a performer, please
do not arrive too early or stay
backstage once you have finished.
It is a small area, and it is distracting to audiences when you stay too
long backstage or when some carry
on conversations in the field area
alongside the stage.
Thank you in advance for thinking
of others!
Featured Tune:
Nutfactory Shuffle
This month’s tune comes to us
from a suggestion from President Kathy Rayman. She heard
it while jamming out of state,
and thought our members would
enjoy it. Rumor has it that the
composer was inspired by a trip
to the mall with his family. He
was sitting outside a small nut
shop located inside the mall
observing people “shuffle” in and
out of the shop.
We hope you enjoy it!

May Board Meeting Notes
By Gail Perna
The ODPC Board met on May 2 in Ray, MI. The meeting began at 11 a.m. After approval of corrected minutes
from last October, President Kathy Rayman had three items of business for the board. The first two proposals
asked the board to authorize the creation of two ODPC-owned and controlled web sites. One site for Funfest is to
be maintained by Publicity Chair Scott Freeman. The address for that site is www.evartdulcimerfest.org. A second
site will be created by Secretary Sue Crandle for ODPC club business, where members can go to access newsletters, club bylaws and policy manuals, as well as other club documents, minutes and contacts. (That site is found at
www.originaldulcimerplayers.org.) The third proposal asked for annual funding for the FunFest site that is now
online.
Vice President Gail Perna brought several proposals to update club policy manuals. Following the board’s first
electronic meeting in January, some procedural points were added to the board’s electronic meeting policy, to
clarify processes for holding electronic meetings. A few changes were also added to the Jam Coordinator page
as requested by Freeman Gilmore. To the FunFest Manual, job descriptions were added for Scott Freeman, who
has taken the positions of Publicity Chair and Stage Manager, formerly Stage Set-Up Chair. Gail also brought a
recommendation to remove agenda order from the bylaws so that a more practical agenda template can be added
to the board’s policy manual. All revisions and proposals passed. A bylaws revision request will be added to the
September ballot.
Gail then brought to the board a new membership plan that had first been given to board members in February.
She brought a request to raise admission for FunFest to $7 and to remove the additional $5 for dues that members
used to pay to renew each July. This would accomplish several things: to solve inequities in how ODPC expenses
are financed, to reward loyal members who have covered these expenses for many years by reducing their combined FunFest/dues costs, to more fairly pay the costs of printed newsletters by those who receive them, to encourage more new people to join the ODPC, to allow for 1 vote per paid membership instead of couples receiving
2 votes per paid membership, and to establish a dedicated fund with new money to save for the eventuality of
renting or procuring a new stage, since we are currently borrowing a stage from the Indiana Fiddlers’ Association.
Some board members were hesitant to start a dedicated fund for a stage without having more information on
what that stage would be. So, that portion of the motion was removed while the provision to raise admission to
$7, which includes dues, was passed. When Stage Manager Scott Freeman feels it is time to move forward, he will
bring a recommendation with supporting information to the board so that a stage decision can be made.
Treasurer Peg Earl submitted a report that included a balance of $36,035.47.
The FunFest portion of the meeting began with Festival Manager Kathy Rayman asking for money to cover camping fees for some officers and chairs who work throughout the festival. This was approved.
Stage Show Chair Gail Perna presented a proposal for Sound Chair Andy Cox who could not be there. Andy has
been working to correct some sound dead spots reported by audience members and performers. The current
sound system was designed for smaller crowds, and now that our audiences have grown, additional equipment
is needed to solve the problem. The board approved funds to purchase the new sound equipment for the stage. It
also authorized funding to replace 8-10 microphones for use in workshops.
Gail also presented the 2015 stage show line ups. She asked for input from the board regarding a request by an
invited performer to play in two full sets on stage. The board felt that, while it was fine for a performer to play a
couple songs during another performer’s set, it was not good to have any invited performer to play for two full
performance sets.
Following a few member comments, the meeting adjourned shortly after 12:30.

FunFest Workshops for 2015
by Sharon Skaryd, Workshop Chairman (20th year!)
Every year we’re at the mercy of our wonderful volunteer instructors to provide us with a diverse array of classes.
2015 is no exception. As workshop chairman, I schedule the line-up from those that are generously submitted
by our fantastic teachers. This year there were so many submissions that I had a tough time squeezing them into
the slots in the eight workshop areas. (Workshops start at 9:00 and are to end at 5:00.) This year, for the first
time, we’re using part of the Community Building almost full time so we have nine areas. We’ll offer well over
200 classes!
I’m sure you won’t be disappointed unless you are hoping to learn to play the bodhran because this year no
bodhran player stepped forward to teach, and I don’t know where I’d have slipped them in, if someone had.
We will have classes teaching hammered dulcimer, and also piano, guitar, harmonica, mandolin, mountain dulcimer, banjo, dobro, autoharp, ukulele, fiddle, clogging, contra dancing, penny whistle, harp, Native American
flute, bass guitar, bowed psaltery, voice, hurdy gurdy, music skills (including composing, earning money from
your music, setting up a band) and even classes helping you use your iPad to help you make music. What a lineup!
You can print out the complete workshop program from the on-line site and I urge you to do so. If you pick up a
copy of the program at the festival, please cherish it and only get one copy. (They are a big expense so we bring a
limited number to the festival.) The program is available at: http://evartdulcimerfest.org/workshops.html
We hope you learn new skills at the festival and come away with an abundance of enthusiasm!
Dulcimer Drawing
Each year, member David Lindsey donates a beautiful hammered
dulcimer to be given to an ODPC
member. Thank you so much to
David for his generosity and loyalty
to the club! When you register your
membership at the ODPC Office,
you will be given an entry form for
the drawing which will be held at
6:50, prior to the 7:00 start of the
Saturday night stage show. You
must be present to win!
Thank You, Sharon!
Thank you for your
20 years of volunteer service to the ODPC!
Sharon is planning to retire from her post as
Workshop Chairman.
Please see the “President’s Perspective” for more details.

Hammered Dulcimer
Pre-Show Chair Changes
Hammered Dulcimer Pre-Show
Many thanks go to Hammered
Dulcimer Pre-Show Chair, Pennye Scheiber. She has graciously
served the ODPC and FunFest for
a number of years, running the
practices and leading the large
number of musicians who perform
in the hammered dulcimer group
stage performance held at FunFest.
Pennye will not be able to attend
FunFest this year, and thus had to
retire.
We hope you can join us at the ODPC hammered dulcimer pre-show on
Saturday, July 18, just before the main concert starts! Everyone is welcome,
from beginners to advanced players.
by Gail Perna
We are delighted that Peggy
Peryam will be stepping up to fill
the position. Peggy is from Central Illinois, where she teaches in a
public school, as well as giving private lessons. She plays numerous
instruments, has played hammered
dulcimer for many years, and really
enjoys conducting and drawing
groups of musicians together. Welcome Peggy, and thanks for volunteering!
by Peggy Peryam
Please arrive with your instrument at about 5:45 P.M. Saturday to set up
IN FRONT OF THE STAGE and we will begin at 6:15 pm. If you haven’t
worked on the tunes, now is a good time to start. All tunes are typical
hammered dulcimer tunes, and the new one, “Kiowa Special” (published
in January ODPC newsletter), is fairly easy. It will be played ABABABA.
There will be two practice sessions: Wednesday, July 15 at 1 p.m., and Saturday, July 18 at noon, both in the Swine Barn.
PDF sheet music for all the preshow tunes can be found on the festival
website at http://www.evartdulcimerfest.org/pretunes.html.

Join Us at the Pre-Festival Cart Parade
Stage Manager
by Lynn Gehringer
Scott Freeman has been appointed
to serve as the new stage manager,
as well as the FunFest publicity
chair. Scott brings the stage that we
borrow from the Indiana Fiddlers’
Association. Scott will be responsible for the set up and take down
of that stage, and all equipment
that is placed on or near it. He
welcomes all volunteers willing to
help with the set up on Wednesday
and the take down on Saturday at
the end of the stage show. Thank
you, Scott, for filling this very
important role in the success of
our shows. Thank you too, to Rex
LaLonde who has served in the
past as the stage set up chair. Rex is
a very hard worker, and his efforts
have been much appreciated!
It is time to be thinking about the 2015 Evart Pre-Festival Cart Parade.
How will you be decorating your cart this year? In fact, you do not even
have to have a cart to join us. Strolling musicians, dancers, anything you
want... you are all welcome! Join us for the fun.
This will take place on Wednesday, July 15. We will line up at the ODPC
pavilion at 4:45 p.m, so we can start the parade promptly at 5:00 p.m. We
will use the same route as in the past.
Though all entries are appreciated and loved, we will have ribbons in six
categories, which will be:
1. Best representation of the hammered
dulcimer.
2. Best holiday display (any holiday).
3. Best musical entry.
4. Weirdest entry.
5. Best in Show - Golf Cart
6. Best in Show - Non-Golf Cart.
Please keep your fingers crossed for good
weather and join in the fun!
Lawn Chairs
Many audience members like to set
up chairs in front of the stage early
in the day for an evening show.
Each night, however, we have clubs
and mountain and hammered dulcimer groups who need that space
for their pre-show performances.
Last year we had some traffic concerns for players, instruments, and
chairs.
So, this year there will be barricades placed to block off the area
in front of the stage. Please do not
place chairs in this area; they will
be moved. If you want to use a lawn
chair during the stage show, the
area will be open at 6:55 for you to
set up chairs.
ODPC FunFest Office
Needs Volunteers
If you are thinking about volunteering at this year’s FunFest, maybe the ODPC Membership Office is
the place for you to help out.
It’s an easy and fun place to work,
checking and renewing memberships, getting to meet lots of
members. If you are interested in
helping out or have any questions
you can email at: rpeka@yahoo.
com Thanks, from Mary Peka, the
ODPC Office Manager
Volunteer at the Gate!
by Gwyn Besner, Gates Chair
Your help is always welcome helping
to sell and check ribbons at the fairgrounds gates! Bill and I are looking
forward to seeing old friends and
making new again this year. By
popular demand, time slots will be
on the hour: 8 -10 a.m., etc.
We will be at the Fairgrounds on
July 10. If you are coming later and
want to email me at
[email protected], I’d be happy
to add your name to the drywipe
board. Do not contact me before
that date, please.
The drywipe board will be in Fair
Office until the festival starts, and
then will move to the ODPC office.
In order to have fewer errors, we are
only going to have the one schedule.
Hugs and Kisses!

Great Scenery AND an ODPC-Sponsored Jam!
Come jam and enjoy spectacular upper peninsula scenery and fall color on your way! Kathleene Falls is hosting
an ODPC-sponsored all-day jam at the Iron Mountain Senior Citizen Center on Saturday, September 26, 2015.
The Senior Center is located at 700 Crystal Lake Blvd., Iron Mountain, MI 49801
See the fall color in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Even many residents have never seen this part of the state.
Here is an opportunity to see upper Michigan in vibrant color and take in a jam. Also, this is one week before
the ODPC board meeting (and jam) in Evart on October 3. Some folks might enjoy more time “Up North” and
could take in both jams! Kathy is the only dulcimer player and looking for support. "It would be a great way to
introduce hammered dulcimer to all the local musicians."
The jam would run all day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. central time, with a break for lunch and dinner, and be combined with her regular jam that goes from 1-4 p.m. If you want to see a short video of their jam, check out the
Iron Mountain Senior Center page on Facebook.
Econo Lodge (1609 S. Stephenson Ave., Iron Mountain, Mi. 49801, newly renovated) has continental breakfast,
pool, flat screens in every room with micro and fridge, and a special rate of $50 per night. Contact Paula Wiegle
at 906-396-0135 (cell). The next-door restaurant, the Holiday Kitchen, will give you 20% off if you show them
your room key from Econo Lodge. A large grocery store is across the highway if you want to buy your own food
and dine in your room.
Summer Breeze Campground (summerbreezecampground.com) is about ten minutes from town. Their rates
and info are on their website. Duval's Lakeside Resort (906-774-1689) has cabins right on the lake. They do not
have camping.
States Kathy: "There is the Iron Mountain with a scenic vista viewing platform at the top where you can view
the entire city, a city park with deer in an enclosure with an albino deer, several mining museums, Fumee Nature
Preserve with hiking trails, lots of restaurants from pasties to brats and burgers, lots of northern Italian cuisine,
and many pizza places. And, of course, that time of year we have breathtaking fall color and fresh air. And the
senior center is right on beautiful Crystal Lake. Since we are right on the border of Wisconsin, separated by the
beautiful Menominee River, we also get great cheese."
She would like feed back as to those that may go and those that plan to go. Please put "ODPC color" in the
subject line. Send to: [email protected] AND [email protected]. Kathy can be reached at 906-8281825 if you have questions.

President’s Perspective
Bylaws Change
Sharon Skaryd has been one of those team members who, for many years,
contributed to the club in this fashion. She has given of her time and
talents in so many ways, especially in the position of workshop leader,
planning, organizing and implementing the workshops so many enjoy.
Sharon has filled this position for twenty years! It has been an amazing
gift so generously given to this club and this festival.
In the fall, you will be asked to vote
on a change to the ODPC Bylaws.
This proposal was approved by
the board at its May 2 meeting. In
Article III, Section 7, Item A, the
standard Robert’s Rules agenda
order is listed.
con’t from p. 1
In recent years, Sharon has expressed an interest in retiring from this
time-consuming responsibility. Each year I have talked with her about
this. I hoped she would stay, but I knew the time would come when she
was ready to make that decision. The time came this week, when Sharon
let me know that this will be her last festival for running the workshops.
Wow! Knowing that I needed to plan for it still did not prepare me for the
depth of feeling I had, not only that Sharon would be giving up the position, but also that I would have to try to replace such a critical member of
the ODPC and FunFest team.
While it will be difficult to fill her shoes, I am confident that we have
found the right person to assume this huge responsibility. Sue Crandle
had offered to take this job a few years ago when Sharon was first considering retiring from it, and Sue still wishes to do so. Sue’s strengths lie in
her organizational skills, her attention to detail, planning and preparation,
and her advanced computer skills so important in this position. She will
do a wonderful job for FunFest festival goers and workshop leaders!
So, Sharon, your dedication and support will be personally and collectively missed. You have set high standards, and we, with Sue’s leadership,
want to continue with those high standards. From all of us on the ODPC
Board and the FunFest team, we wish to give you a huge thank you!
Sincerely,
Kathy Rayman, O.D.P.C. President
Fall Election
In addition to the request for a
bylaws change, the fall election will
include voting on three positions
for ODPC board trustee seats.
If you are interesting in being a
candidate for trustee, please contact
Gail Perna at [email protected] by July 31.
Please consider volunteering your
time to help guide and support
ODPC.
The board would like to have this
removed to allow it to use an agenda order it has piloted for recent
meetings. This new agenda order
would be kept in the board’s policy
manual.
The new order has two parts: one
covers board and club business for
officers, trustees, and club chairs.
The second part deals with business
relating to FunFest.
This new agenda order has streamlined meetings and helps them to
be run more effectively and efficiently.
