It was great seeing so many of you at the Area 10 Conference in Tacoma. Wow! The musicality and technical excellent of Vivace was inspiring. I heard many people talking about what they were learning in the classes. William Payn and Shirley Lindberg brought the music to life as everyone rang. If you weren't able to attend, watch for information about the 2014 conference and start planning now to attend.
Our newsletter comes out the beginning of every month. Some times there are more articles and happenings than other months. Please send information about any handbell concerts or events you are planning so it can be publicized here.
