President's Message

Greetings, RCAC! I’m writing this from Asheville, NC, where I am attending and speaking at a conference for work. It’s beautiful out here, but the humidity is a bit much for this native Oregonian.

Last month’s newsletter included a bunch of photos from camp, so I hope you enjoyed those. All past newsletters are available at rosecityaccordionclub.org/newsletters. This newsletter features photos from Astoria Scandinavian Festival where a number of RCAC folks played and led ensembles.

A few news and updates not to miss:

• This weekend, Doug Stickler is playing at Alliance Française de Portland - Bastille Day on Sunday, July 12 from 2:45 - 4:45.
• Gig opportunities for Zootoberfest (Sept. 11-12) are on page 2.
• Also on page 2, get ready for Mt. Angel Oktoberfest!
• Congrats to RCAC scholarship recipient Sam Gladky for the awards he earned during the Leavenworth Accordion Celebration.

If you have news, photos, or accordion-related updates you’d like to include in the next newsletter, let me know!
