This month we will have our annual officer and board elections. We will also be considering nominees from the floor, but the Nominating Committee has been at work and has proposed Bill Shull for President, Josh Tonyan as Vice President, with the assistance of John Piesik. Additional nominations for board will be presented in the meeting, and additional volunteers will be needed to serve on the board of trustees. Be prepared to offer additional nominees for any of the positions this coming meeting.
I'm so sorry to announce the passing of longtime PTG member, former chapter president, and tenor extraordinaire Tom Schultz. He was just past his 90th birthday. Our hearts go out to Twyla and all his family. The memorial service for Tom will take place Saturday, June 28 at 2:00 pm at All Saints Episcopal Church, 132 N. Euclid Ave, Pasadena
Our Secretary/Treasurer, Eric Mrozek, has extensively reworked our chapter constitution and bylaws and made a report of proposals at a planned meeting recently of the executive committee. You have received these by email for consideration at the upcoming meeting, after the board has voted to recommend at the last meeting. This is notice that these proposals and any other amendments you may wish to consider may be voted on at this upcoming meeting for a final vote.. This includes the first increase of chapter dues in nearly 15 years and many other very thoughtful amendments which the committee recommends. Please look over the proposals prior to the meeting.
Due to the additional length of the business meeting there will be a somewhat shorter technical program. Bill Shull will present on all the different actions we might see in the field, and how to address their service: Viennese (and how to remove and reinstall, with pianos on hand to practice), Chickering Brown action (a real sleeper, because at first it looks like an easy-peasy, but don't get in too deep!), Bluthner Patent Action and possibly others.
See you there! See you soon!
