October, 2016
Please bring your accordions and be ready to have
fun with our new bi‐monthly Accordion Circle
program format! If we have your email address, this
month’s Oktoberfest selections were emailed to you
on September 9. Some music books will be available
for everyone to play along as a group in the familiar
format of the SFAC’s revered “Jam Band.”
Accordionists of all skill levels are welcome — the
very beginner, someone dusting off that accordion
after raising a family or pursuing a career, and the
seasoned expert — as are all SFAC members and
friends who simply wish to enjoy the camaraderie.
During the “Open Mic” portion of the meeting, any
person or group may enjoy the experience of
playing in front of an audience ‐ no arrangements
ahead of time are required. If you wind up not
playing in October and would like to make sure
there is a spot for you at a future meeting, please
MEMBERSHIP RENEWAL— Update Robert Cooperstein, our membership director, re‐
ports that renewals for 2017 are going well. Thanks
to all who have already renewed! If you received an
invita on to renew with an enclosed return enve‐
lope, please take the me to send it back with a
check if in fact you intend to renew. This will save
Robert the extra and unnecessary task of sending a
reminder le er or email in the near future. If on the
other hand you do not intend to renew (of course
the SFAC will be very sad to lose you!) please let him
know that by mail or email, for the same reason.
Merry Squeezing!
