Annual Summer Meeting
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Phi Beta Mu:
On Friday, July 15, 2011, at noon, we will have our annual luncheon meeting
at the Marriott Hotel in Wichita, Kansas. I would encourage you to come and
welcome our six new members. The meeting is held during the annual KBA Convention.
You may come to the luncheon meeting even if you aren’t attending the
convention this year, although I urge you to take advantage of the excellent
sessions and meetings offered by KBA. You can see the schedule at www.kansasbandmasters.org.
Those of you that nominated this year’s new members need to be prepared
to introduce them prior to their initiation. Please plan to keep your introductory
remarks brief. We will also be inducting Don Buhler as the new President.
Another important event at the meeting will be presenting the 4th Annual Phi
Beta Mu Future Band Director Scholarship to Mary Rose Biltz from Friends University
at this meeting. Please come and meet her, our new members, and have fellowship
with many good friends.
Our luncheon menu will be an Italian Hoagie with potato salad and pickle slice,
including a side salad, dessert, and drink. Bob Lee, our executive-secretary
has been able to keep our meal cost increase to $17.50. (Thank you so much,
Bob!!!)
If you are unable to attend this meeting, please send a note to Bob at: bandhaven@sbcglobal.net.
If you will be there, your luncheon cost can be sent to Bob at the address
below or paid at the meeting.
Seeing all my friends and colleagues at KBA and the PBM luncheon is something
I look forward to all year! I hope that all of you will be able to be there
and get that extra boost it takes to prepare for the upcoming year!
Fraternally,
Ellen Kerr, President
Kansas Iota Chapter, Phi Beta Mu
