Memo to Members<br />
August 2002<br />
The Board of Directors met at the University Plaza Hotel on July 2. We moved the meeting<br />
up a day, for those who had plans to attend the Portland Waterfront Festival. Remember,<br />
these meetings are open to the membership. We wouldn’t mind seeing some different<br />
faces, and it’s an opportunity for you to express your concerns, ideas, and sample the tasty<br />
food at the UPH....<br />
This will be short, because you should be out at the many, many blues events happening all<br />
around the state this summer, instead of sitting somewhere, reading this.<br />
Biz this month:<br />
We are proceeding with legal action against one of our former big advertisers that<br />
continues to ignore their large outstanding debt to us. It was a tough decision, and we<br />
tried other avenues, to no avail. Not pretty, but this is YOUR money, and it’s a year<br />
overdue.<br />
Revenue from Fremont Fair was $663.00. Thanks to the volunteers who worked over the 2<br />
day event!!<br />
We’ve had a huge response to our offer to sell merchandise for musicians - THANK YOU FOR<br />
YOUR SUPPORT!!! We have some dedicated volunteers who are knowledgable enough about<br />
our local blues that they are quite successful at selling CDs unheard by the purchaser!<br />
Speaking of support, check out the list of New and Renewed Members - yowza!!<br />
It’s festival season, and we hope to see you all out enjoying all the talent that’s scheduled<br />
to appear in the next few months. Stop by the WBS booth and introduce yourselves. Don’t<br />
forget our monthly meetings at ToST in Fremont on the second Wednesday of each month.<br />
If you haven’t attended, you’ve missed some fine talent [and BBQ at July’s meeting!!].<br />
Yours in the blues,<br />
Leslie Fleury<br />
President<br />
