Greetings!
We
are excited to celebrate our 6th year now since reviving the Oregon
Suzuki Association. Our initial fall
meeting on September 8th proved to be a productive and fun reunion
of existing and new members. Thanks to
Lindsay Durant for hosting the meeting.
The discussion focused on ideas for events that will help bring
community awareness to their local Suzuki teachers.
If
you haven't renewed your membership now is the time to do so. Renewal forms
will be available at the October meeting and also will be mailed out to current
members. Please use the membership form to update your information. To cut down on administrative work we are
renewing memberships only in the fall for the coming year. All members will automatically be added to
the yahoo list serve and also be listed on our website. Please indicate on the membership form what
contact information you would like posted on the website.
We
look forward to seeing you at our monthly teacher forums. They will be held on the first Thursday of every month with the exception of December and
June. Please find below the
