KELSEYVILLE — The annual meeting of Clear Lake Performing Arts will take place at 4 p.m. Sunday at Friendship Hall of the Presbyterian Church, 5340 Third St. in downtown Kelseyville. Members are invited to attend and to bring a friend, if possible.
Dinner and beverages will be served by members of the CLPA Auxiliary, with entertainment provided by the Lake County Symphony Chamber Orchestra, Andi Skelton and the popular Konocti Fiddle Club. There is no charge for admission.
As required by its by-laws, there will be a brief business meeting to introduce board members named by the nominating committee. Time will also be allowed for comments or questions from the general membership.
According to its president Paul Brewer, this will be CLPA”s 32nd annual meeting. The group was founded in 1977, specifically to encourage good music in Lake County: including supporting youth music activities and fostering a local symphony.
Both these goals have been met, with the general acknowledgement that the symphony, under the direction of John Parkinson, is now among the finest in Northern California.
CLPA also supports the CLPA Youth Ochestra under the direction of Wes Follett, as well as providing scholarships for worthy students and helping to fund a new in-school music education program developed by Sue Condit, Andi Skelton and members of the Konocti Fiddle Club.
CLPA has also sponsored scores of concerts during its 32-year history, featuring world-class artists of every musical description. The next one will feature classical guitarist David Burgess appearing in concert on Oct. 4 at the Galilee Lutheran Church.
Brewer asks that those planning to attend the annual meeting, confirm by e-mail to murrayjc@sbcglobal.net, or call 279-0877.
