A Message from Area 4 Representative
Beth Montgomery

Is it Spring Yet??

Hello to everybody in Area 4! Hope you are all doing well and ready for spring!  Has this been a crazy winter with all the colds, flu and weird weather?  I’m ready for the warm weather, birds chirping and flowers blooming of spring!

I wanted to write and encourage everybody to attend our Area 4 Education day on Saturday, April 12th.   David and Sandi Wright will be our facilitators for the day and I am so looking forward to all the wonderful classes Janice has once again assembled!  The information for registration is on the website http://www.area4harmonyinc.org  and I would encourage all of you to attend – it will be a wonderful day of learning, singing and seeing our Area 4 friends.

I am also looking forward to AC&C this year June 12-15th and with our hostess chapter, Misty River Music Makers, putting on a theme of Misty Magical Mystery Tour, Three Days of Peace and Music – how fun is this going to be???  And who doesn’t still have their shades and bell bottoms to wear!!  The ‘60’s rocked and this weekend will too!

I encourage every chapter to come and be a part of this groovy weekend – let’s compete and make it a ‘far out’ time!!

Calling all quartets – please get registered and ready for contest too!! What better way to help your chapter than form a quartet and sing for your sisters in Harmony!  You can do it!

Area 4 has once again been asked to participate in the Harmony Explosion camp.  It will be held in Marion, IN in July.  I will send out information as I receive it.  Last year we sent two girls and I would like to see us send more.  How about chapters forming scholarships to promote their youth and send them to camp? 

HITS scholarships are also available for directors, assistant directors and youth.  Please see the Area 4 website or the Harmonyinc.org site for more information. This $500 scholarship would cover your all events pass to attend HITS – I would encourage all directors, and assistant directors to apply!  Youth members – this is an awesome week of instruction and singing – you don’t want to miss – apply now!

I will be having my Spring Area 4 council meeting in St. Charles, IL in conjunction with Area Education Day.  My meeting will be on Friday, April 11th at the church starting at 7:00 p.m.  All presidents should plan to attend or send a representative. 

Please let me know too, how your chapter is doing with Operation Sparkplug.  We are winding down with this initiative and I would like your feedback on what went well with your chapter.

Thanks everybody – Area 4 rocks because of all of you!

In Harmony,
Beth Montgomery
