President's Message

Greetings RCAC!

September is well underway with a bunch of RCACers already playing at Oktoberfest events. See inside for where to find various RCAC club members playing around the region. Support your local accordionists!

Remember that there is NO CLUB MEETING IN SEPTEMBER! Instead, I encourage you to go to Mt. Angel Oktoberfest. RCAC is providing music throughout the festival, and RCAC member bands are also scheduled. You are guaranteed to see friendly faces and lots of accordion music if you go.

Our next meeting is October 17, 2026. The group playing at Autumnfest (Forest Grove Social) will rehearse at 10:00 am. Regular club will start at 12:00 pm. (This is a change from a previous announcement.)

I have scheduled a featured performance for November 21 at our usual club meeting location: Andrew and Courtney’s Mystery Box. This clarinet/accordion duo is a delight. I’ve seen them play several times and am always enchanted by their music. This event is open to the public.

I hope you have a music-filled September! ~Amber Matz
