March is fast approaching...
We will be meeting at RCCAC again in March; our Saturday is March 10th and we will meet upstairs as the building will be occupied by other members downstairs.
The weekend prior to our meeting there will be a great benefit concert.

"A variety of musical artists will join together on Saturday, March 3, 2007, to present a diverse concert of
classical music.
The proceeds from the evening concert will support West Virginia’s first ever wooden flute festival set for last week of June 2007. The First Annual Timber Flute Festival is sponsored by the Randolph County Community Arts Center, The Myles Family Foundation and Marshall University.
Performers will include flutist Wendell Dobbs from Marshall University, flutist Colin St. Martin from Baltimore's Peabody Institute, Brazilian classical guitarist Julio Alves , harpsichordist Jack Crotty from West Virginia University and tenor Robert Psurny from Davis and Elkins College. Dobbs and St. Martin will perform using flutes created by local craftsman John Gallagher."
Additionally the RCCAC website alerts us that the Timber Flute Festival will be this June:
First Annual Timber Flute Festival
June 24th 29th, 2007
Randolph County Community Arts Center
A weeklong series of workshops and evening events for flutists interested in exploring traditions associated with wooden flutes. The first year will be devoted to 18th century Baroque and Classical flute playing and Irish flute playing.
Bear in mind that the Augusta Heritage Festival starts the following week (after the July 4th holiday) and so you could catch a new wood flute event, Augusta's first week, and then the Flute Circle meeting on June 9th!
It only seems like a long way off. Remember that if you drive fast and only look at the end of the car hood, you'll end up like the bugs you find there on a summers eve. You have to plan far ahead to get anywhere...
