MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT "Those of us who danced and tapped toes at our October jam sure
had a good time doing it! And James Whiton (on bass), Ken
Whiton (drums), Scott Hooker (piano), Kent Erickson (trumpet), Doc
Rock (trombone), Pete Pankush (reeds) and Janna Nelson (vocals)
made sure we did! Thanks to this group that James put together
for the great sounds to tunes old and new. We'd like you to do it
again. And the jammers that followed did a great job on the Dixie
and swing sets too; as witnessed by the dancers who took the floor
every time another tune started. The musicians get inspired by
the audience and the audience gets inspired by the talents of the
musicians. One doesn't really work well without the other. So both
of you - musicians and audience - come again for our next jam at
the German-American Club on Sunday afternoon, November 16.
"We'll start that afternoon off at 2:00 with the big band sound of Die
Polka Schlingels. This group of fifteen - or so - musicians has a
whole repertoire of swing music that they promise to do for us. So
bring your dancing shoes and enjoy both the dancers and the
music. And bring some food too! We decided to have a potluck to
share as well. We'll be having board elections at this jam but the
business shouldn't dampen the fun.
"Just so you know, the people who have put their names in as board
candidates for 2015 are myself (Casey Den Hollander), for
president, Bill Cochral, vice-pres., Betty Whiton, secretary, Roger
Hailstone, treasurer, Rose Day, newsletter editor, Bob Armstrong,
musician's liaison, Dick Peres, assistant musician's liaison and
door greeter, Janice Peres, front gate coordinator, Dalva Hailstone,
membership coordinator, Larry Kemp, radio/on-air coordinator and
Orion Brady, equipment and website manager. We can also take
nominations from the floor (as long as the nominee is present) or
we can take nominations in writing (if the nominee isn't present.) If
you're interested in helping out on the board, contact any board
member.
"So here you have a great way to spend your Sunday November
16. Die Polkaschlingels, our jammers, the board election and a
potluck will make for a great afternoon. Come at 2:00 so you don't
miss a minute!
