As we launch into the coming year, please let me know if you would like to turn over your current positions next year and we can try to find someone early on to shadow you during this year. This will allow a smooth transition of responsibility next year. I encourage each of you to “recruit” a replacement for yourself during the coming so that we can engage some of our less active members in the business of the WMC. .

I have nearly completed the 2017-2018 yearbook. I am waiting for the final count of members, some information from NFMC, and the possibility of bringing in a vocal group from the Army Chorus for a program at Westminster. The yearbook should be printed and distributed at the House Concert/Welcome Potluck at our home on October 1st.

I am also planning to hold a
Board Meeting on Saturday, October 7, location TBD, to discuss the upcoming year. We have cut back on the number of events this year, but we need to make all of them worthwhile. Our plan from last year to bring in one of the Young Artists from the NFMC Young Artist Competition is working out - we will bring in Andre Chiang, a very talented singer, on April 14, 2018. Zuill and I will work on trying to set up a Master Class for Andre to conduct at at one of the High Schools on April 13. I encourage you to go to the NFMC site and read about Andre.

I’m looking forward to the coming year and working with all of you again!

Musically Yours,

Paul Brady
President, Woodbridge Music Club
