President's Message

Fran Maddox

        Even though we did not hold a meeting in September, there is plenty of accordion activity going on in our club. Mt. Angel's Oktoberfest drew several of our players to perform in different venues.  Pictures are on the Oktoberfest page.

       The next club meeting is October 4.  It is at the regular time and meeting place.  The music circle pieces have been sent out to members.  We still need leaders for the months of November thru May.  Let me know if you are interested.

      RCAC camp for 2026 is taking shape.  All the professionals are in place so the registrations will roll out soon. The camp  will be May 31-June 5, 2026.  

      November’s meeting will be the election of officers: President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. There are people already interested in these positions, but if we missed you, let me know.  RCAC has had strong leadership teams through the years and our goal is to continue that tradition. 

     The December meeting will be the annual Christmas Party. Like the picnic, it will be catered and funded by RCAC members who play out representing the club. The club receives generous donations for our performances.

          A couple in Albany, Or. are selling 3 accordions. They recently contacted me with pictures and notes about them. You will find them on the "Items for Sale" on this website.
