Hi, Everyone!
• We had a VERY SUCCESSFUL EVENT at Downtown Kitchen. Special thanks to Zach for allowing us to use the venue. We made a decent amount of money thanks to the admission fee so all the performers will be PAID! Your checks will go in the mail this week. And we will have some leftover money for the CCMS, too, to help pay for the recent merchandise we purchased to promote the Society. THIS IS GREAT NEWS!
• I want to take time to thank our excellent performers - Blake Cloud, Bob Patterson aka Bogey, The Thrillhammers who backed up Bob, Kevin Carlson, and newbies to the Society The Set Connection aka Coltrane Blue Band. Also, thanks to Mark Waterbury for emceeing the event. Everyone sounded GREAT, and I think that the audience loved the music and had a great time, too.
• We also recruited some new members to the Society. Welcome! We are growing and working hard to reach the 100 member mark by the end of the year so please steer all of your music industry, singer/songwriter and musician friends our way. We are all of us doing really well!! And it inspires me to work harder for the organization. I hope it inspires you, too. Everyone can join up on our site at http://www.cherokeecountymusicsociety.org.
• NEW WEBSTORE! All of our merchandise is now available on the CCMS web site! The store is still new and we plan to put photos of the merch up there, too, but as of last week, the store is up and open. Special pricing for CCMS members is available, too.
• The next event will be our meeting on September 14 (Sunday) at Woodstock Coffee House at 1428 Towne Lake Parkway from 7-9PM. We have alot to discuss because in October we are going to have a CCMS Garage and Bake Goods Sale Fundraiser in my garage and yard. I have a good sized front yard and side lot and a big garage, too. The tentative date for the event is Saturday, October 11th. So start looking through your homes for things you want to get rid of. You can sell them at the Garage sale and make some money. All we ask is you donate 10% of your total sales to the CCMS. We plan to have singer/songwriters perform throughout the day, too, so we will have live entertainment! Singer/songwriters can sell their CDs and merch, too. We will discuss more about this at the meeting. We want all of our members to be involved with this to help gain more awareness about all the wonderful original talent we have in Cherokee County. This is our revolution and we are going to win!
:-)
We hope to see all of you at the meeting on Sept. 14th. Remember to bring your friends. You don't have to be a member to come to the meetings. We invite everyone to join us at meetings to see what we are all about. The CCMS is a great way to get involved with your community to help make it a better place.
Thanks again for all the support. Remember to join our group at meetup.com (Thanks, Margaret!) so you can communicate with each other. Also, remember our yahoogroup. Feel free to sign up there, too.
See everyone on Sept. 14th!
