OAC meeting. This will be our dress rehearsal. Anyone going to the NAA on March 15 who would like to play in the Recreational Band, please contact me ASAP. There will be local rehearsals before the Dallas event. I feel this will be the OAC year. Knowing the elected officers and their dedication to the accordion and our Club, I see big things in the horizon. Please continue to support our Club through your membership. Q. What do a true music lover and an accordionist have in common? A. Absolutely nothing. Q. What do you get when you toss an accordion off a tall building? A. Applause. Q. What does a long court hearing and a bad accordionist have in common? A. There is always a huge sigh of relief when the case is closed. Q. What is an accordion good for? A. An introductory course on map folding.

New business followed: • Accordion teachers should inform Lois Roth if they have young students who want to play in the Youth Band at the Dallas Convention in March. • We were reminded that the Club's elected officers are: president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and librarian. This group's purpose is to take care of everyday OAC business. • A newly elected Board of Directors will now be responsible for reviewing and correcting the apparent discrepancies in the Club's bylaws, and for addressing any other OAC problems that may arise. • After a period of discussion, four members were nominated and elected to the new Board of Directors. They are Dick Albreski, Bob Mansfield, Jackie Mashore, and Dan Orza. • Dick told us that Greg Klugiewicz's mother passed away recently. Greg is the chairman of the National Accordion Convention. • We gave a round of applause for Jackie Mashore -- Welcome back, Jackie! • The Club was reminded that Anne Lopez will no longer mail birthday cards to members. She will continue to send special cards (get well, condolence, etc.). Please call her if you know of any member in need of a card. • Bob Mansfield moved that the meeting be adjourned. • Dick Albreski gave us a very interesting and educational workshop about accordion reeds and reed blocks. Thank you, Dick! • Then it was Music Time! - Anne Lopez performed "April in Portugal," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "Arrivederci Roma," and "The Carioca." - Roland Lohmann played and sang "I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now" and "C'est Manifique." - Renato Gladio performed several numbers, including "Under Paris Skies" and "Two Guitars." - Bob Mansfield concluded the solos with "Valse Caprice" and "Zug Farvus." - The orchestra ended the music program with "Spanish Eyes" and a rousing "Auld Lang Syne."
