Kjell Holmes - October 2008:

     September 14th was such a great meeting day for our Club. Bill Barr, who has accepted leadership for all coordinating of music in the various places at Mt Miguel Covenant Village, did a wonderful job supervising that activity.

     Howard Kantorowski"s show case was well worth waiting for a year. Howard played very good music and also showed us how his electronic music book worked. Thank you for your very good performance, and also thank you for returning your monetary performance compensation back to our club treasury. It is very much appreciated.

     Our next meeting will be in Balboa Park. We will be celebrating OKTOBER FEST on the East end of the Prado and West of the Large Fountain. All players will be contacted soon.

     At our December meeting the showcase will be two young girls from Oceanside. They are Gloria Ensigns students. It will definitely be a good show case. In the future we will attempt to do more for the young accordionists. So far we have had Gordon Kohl"s students in the Mother Goose Parade, and and now we are taking steps to do something else for the students. As of right now, we are not sure when or if the Club will be involved in the Mother Goose Parade again.

     As I personally stated last April, I will be retiring from my Presidents position in the middle of October, and will be away in November and December. I do plan to continue with my precious membership and will be back for the Reunion Band Performance in January.
