A Note From Your Pres:

 

Jan 2025

 

Hello again.

 

We are in a new season of jams. It is great to be able to see you all again. Hopefully I will be attending as many jams as possible this year.

 

We have had several new members and several that have renewed their membership in NIBA. Thank you very much. It is a worthy cause to keep the organization going.

 

Watch for upcoming festival dates.^th The festival will be held in June this year.

 

We realize the jams are a social event. We have had some concerns about not being able to hear the performers. Please keep conversations to a minimum. It is also acceptable to move the conversations to another location. Please keep the other listeners in mind. The jams are for everyone.

We have had several suggestions for the newsletter. We will try to implement as many as possible. Please keep the suggestions coming. It is good to hear from you.

 

Well, hopefully the jam attendance will increase now that the summer festivals and farm work has been completed. We enjoy seeing you all. Please bring a guest and introduce them to our great organization and bluegrass music in general.

 

Tom Gerber, NIBA President
