>Greetings to all members.  It has been a while since a news update 
>has been released.  The division has been working on our ongoing 
>projects and preparing for this year's convention in Detroit.  We 
>have a full schedule of things to do this year.
>
>On Sunday, July 5 at 1PM, we have our annual division meeting.  At 
>this meeting we will present drafts of some of the songs that will 
>be on the "Music of the Movement" album.  We have gotten allot of 
>work done and we will discuss the track list, and listen to some 
>samples.  We will also hear about a Media Company who is looking for 
>blind performing artists.  You will hear about how this media 
>company works, and how you can get involved.  Do not miss this 
>year's meeting.  You never know what else may happen.  Membership 
>dues are $5, and you can pay it at the door or you can go to our 
>website at <http://www.padnfb.org/>http://www.padnfb.org and click 
>on "Memberships and Donations" and pay your dues there.

>For the first time, the division will be running a "Guitar 
>Seminar".  In this seminar, we will discuss all aspects of playing 
>the guitar, and everything related to it.  If you have always been 
>interested in this instrument, you should be at this 
>meeting.  Monday, July 6 at 6:30PM.  Your host will be Cameron 
>Strife.  Mr. Strife has been a musician for 15 years, and he is a 
>guitar teacher as well.  Don't miss it.  The seminar is $5.

>Once again, we will have our showcase of talent.  Tuesday, July 7 at 
>7PM.  You do not want to miss this year's talent show, or you may 
>miss out on some cool door prizes.  Anybody can sign up.  You can 
>sign up at our table in the exhibit hall, or by contacting our 
>division secretary, Beth Allred.  The talent show is $5, and all 
>talent show proceeds goes to our scholarship fund.

>Speaking of our scholarship fund, help us meet our goal.  The Mary 
>Anne Parks Performing Arts Scholarship is for blind students 
>pursuing a college degree in a performing arts related field.  We 
>are half way to our goal of awarding our first scholarship.  Once we 
>meet our goal, we will be able to award the scholarship at our 2010 
>convention, witch will coincide with the performing arts 10 year 
>anniversary.  Help make 2010 a year to remember by helping us in 2009.

>Our fund raising table will be up, and you can buy albums, 
>participate in raffles, and you may find other interesting things to buy.

>We are currently raising money for our scholarship fund, Music of 
>the Movement, performing arts subsidies, and other projects.  In 
>2007 we released "Sound and Site Volume 1" and Volume 2 is in our 
>future.  The money you donate will lead to Volume 2 down the road.
