Message from our New President

Dear SPTF Colleagues,

Greetings and welcome back to another school year of music making and developing our abilities as teachers! Thank you to Johanna Kosak for her excellent leadership and years of service for SPTF. It is my privilege to succeed her in the office of president.

We have a full slate of interesting meeting topics lined up (see below), including 3 guest presenters and valuable contributions from our own members. We look forward to seeing all of our members this year - YOU are what makes this organization tick!
Start perusing your shelves for Spring Festival music to share at our first meeting - our theme is "Music Around the World: East, West and Back Again". Bring your scores, $35 membership dues and maybe a friend or two!

See you at Frank and Camille's on Wednesday, September 9 at 10:00 A.M.!

Musically yours,
Esther Chung Marks
SPTF President
