December Addendum

A December Addendum from the President
December 1, 2008

November WMC events:

• Our first house concert of November 8 was an evening enjoyed by all. Six members took part in the program (John Schroeder, Donna Baldwin, David Salisbury, Robert Shuffett, June Shuffett and Elaine Brady) with a total of twelve members in attendance. The music was great, and the food and company afterward was delightful. I look forward to the next house concert on April 25, 2009.

• The Pelel/delPino concert on the 15th was phenomenal. The program was reasonably well attended, but I wish more could have been there to experience such a program. Thanks to all who helped make the evening a success.

• Our first student recital on November 23 went well. 31 students from 6 different teachers played, and all performed without difficulty. The level of performance clearly illustrates the quality of teaching in our membership. I encourage all teachers to have their students participate in the next recital (February 8 at 2:30 p.m. not 7:00 as originally stated in the yearbook.) The experience for the student is tremendous, and the additional revenue for our club is very helpful.

Here are some reminders about upcoming events:

• Our holiday luncheon is coming up on Tuesday, December 9. Participation in this event seems to be down. I know this is a very busy time of year, but if you are free at 11:30 a.m. that day, please plan to join us at Osprey’s Landing Restaurant (401 Belmont Bay Drive, Woodbridge 22191). Call or email June Shuffett for reservations and meal choices ASAP.

• Saturday afternoon “Concerts at Occoquan” take place in front of Quinn’s jewelers (199 Union Street, Occoquan). There are 3 remaining concerts:
December 6 2:00-4:00 p.m. St. George Episcopal Church Choir
December13 12:00-2:00 p.m. St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church Choir
December 20 12:00-2:00 p.m. Grace United Methodist Church Choir

• Volunteer Hours (Music Outreach) are due to Shannon Catabui no later than January 15, 2009. Watch for an email from her. Refer to the yearbook for more information and form.

Remember to frequently check our web site (WoodbridgeMusicClub.org) for club news and information. I wish you all a wonderful holiday season. Look for more WMC news next year!
