DSA Members,
Thank you for giving me the opportunity and trust to lead DSA as President. Buck Morgan has done an outstanding job as President during his terms in 2010 and 2011 and leaves me a big set of boots to fill. We have experienced growth and increased the average attendance during our monthly meetings. Mary Guthrie brought a whole new level of activity to the Vice-President of Membership by designing new membership flyers and making sure that members where contacted every month to encourage their participation in our monthly programs and let people know when their membership renewal was due. Barbe has been a constant hard worker that is always there when we need her to do all sorts of things for us. We owe Barbe a debt of gratitude. Bobby Montgomery was diligent in keeping our finances and worked with Barbe to maintain our fiscal responsibilities for DSA. Donna Scoggins got together great programs and Michael Brandenberg was responsible for overseeing some great workshops. I want to thank each member of the 2011 Board of Directors personally for their service.
It was nice to attend board meetings at Michael's home where we had to fight for seating almost. It is refreshing to work with a room full of creative minds that are dedicated to making DSA a great organization. We have another great lineup of board members this year and I expect to have another great year. We will all be seeking new and innovative ways to deliver a solid foundation to our membership and provide you with the best programs, workshops, performance opportunities, and overall support that accomplishes the DSA charter.
We all have busy lives, but we all have that desire to write and/or perform that winning song. Sometimes the music industry demands sacrifice for our art. Musicians hours and demands that our art and craft be nurtured and fed. We as board members in 2012 want each and every member to participate in as many programs and activities as possible. We will be posting programs, workshops and events and some fun musical outings for members to participate in this year. I want every member to feel that they are included and feel satisfied with DSA. We still have opportunities for members to serve on committees and special projects along with guitar shows and other activities we participate in each year. We have Deep Ellum Arts Festival and Wildflower coming up soon just to mention a couple.
We as a board have been elected by the membership to serve the members. This is our goal. In stating this goal please contact your board members with any concerns that you have or great ideas that you would like to see for DSA. We are a 501c3 organization that depends upon donations and membership, so we may not be able to fund activities or speakers, but feel empowered to bring your ideas to us. If there is a way to make something happen, we will try. We are here for you.
