To the Membership of MSBOA,

In discussion with the President and 2 Past Presidents, it has been decided to maintain the Membership Fee structure that was established 5 years ago with no increase for any level. MSBOA will continue to monitor these fees for future consideration.

Through an increased effort MSBOA has reduced expenses and improved efficiency so that these fees can be maintained for an unprecedented 5^th year.

School Membership $375

Joint School (2 schools that qualify under the guidelines) $550 ($275 each)

In your spare time....  Okay, when you find a moment of quiet with time to think, it's time for Band and/or Orchestra Teacher of the Year nominations.  This person could be from our district but can also be from a different district.  It cannot be someone who is retiring at the end of this year.  Qualifications include: fundamental musicianship of the highest caliber, service to students, service to the community, service to the profession, and consistency in the above categories for a number of years. 

If you would like to nominate a person and could have someone email to second the nomination, that would be excellent.  I will have a ballet prepared prior to the meeting.  We will also check for nominations at our meeting on May 3 in Ludington before we vote.

Thanks for your time,

Jodi
