And We’re Mostly Back
The move from Web Manager to Web Manager did not go as smoothly as we wanted. So, the website is starting over. If you have something you’d like to see here, please feel free to make suggestions to crhsmusic [at] gmail.com.
In the meantime, we’ve been receiving regular updates from Deb Harris, President of the Association. Lots going on this spring. The various music groups could really use help with transportation to the various events this spring. Fuel reimbursement is available, or if you itemize your charitable deductions, you should check on whether you can deduct your volunteer mileage on your taxes.
One more note…the Board could really use some new blood for officers for next year. President and Treasurer are still open positions. Consider serving for a year or two.
