The Cleveland Chapter of the PTG
Meeting Follow-up
E Mail Edition 
April 12th 2004 at the shop of Stu Freedman.

Technical:  Lots of people made the journey to Akron to see Stu Freedman's Shop and participate in the technical. Thanks Stu for hosting and all the cleaning.   We know the shop does not normally look that good.

         ( There were more people at the meeting, these guys are just the most photogenic.)

Chapter News: Two New Members were approved by the chapter.  Welcome Don Dusenbury and Ed Hribar.

Nominations for officers for next year are:  President; Bob Russell, Vice President; Stu Freedman,  Secretary;  Chester Robinson, and John Mancino, and for Treasure; Rod Summerlin.   Nominations will be open again at the next meeting for additional candidates. Election of Officers to follow.

Bob Russell has accepted the position of Chapter delegate to the PTG Annual Convention. The chapter has also agreed to increase the $350 per delegate stipend to $500 for sending one delegate this year.

Next months meeting will be another travel adventure as we go to Kent State University.  The technical details will be in the May newsletter. This gives Blaine Vesely a month to clean the KSU piano shop. 

Our June meeting has neither location or topic.  If you have any request (besides keep it local) Lets hear them.

Sad to report Sumwalt's "Going Out of Business After 30 Years" sale. Many of us have worked with Sumwalt's over the years and always felt welcome to have our chapter meeting there. They will be missed.
