A Message From Our President
|
|
|
| Are you ready for all the events and workshops that are coming up this summer?
When one looks at the face of our chapter, one sees the overwhelming dedication of our teachers. They inspire, mentor, and guide our young harpists toward their goals. Thank you to all of our teachers for giving their time and talents.
I’d like to extend a warm welcome to our new GHC Board. Kate Gabriele, Alaina Graiser, and Stephanie Gustafson possess so many talents, in addition to being very fine harpists. It’s going to be a fun year!
My sincere thanks to Terese Weber, John Gearhart, and Angela Chan for their years of service to the GHC. They have given hours of service to grow our chapter and encourage all harpists. We appreciate their service and look forward to seeing their new endeavors.
Wishing you a Happy Mother’s Day as we celebrate our families.
