The Bluegrass Music Association of Canada Newsletter-Volume 2 Issue 2-April 2008 In an attempt to provide our membership with some additional benefit for their annual membership fee, the BMACC Board decided that we would hold regular draws for various items such as event tickets. In April, the Thames Valley Bluegrass Association donated two tickets for the May 3rd Rhonda Vincent Concert at the Centennial Hall in London. The draw was held on April 3rd at our regular Thursday night Jam Session. AND THE WINNER IS! James Young, 2237 Cameron Line, R.R. #3, Indian River, Ontario The winning ticket was drawn by Rikki Cameron of Woodstock, a new youth member of TVBA. www.bmacc.ca FESTIVAL ISSUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WHAT"S INSIDE President- Wayne Uncer Organizational Members List - Page 4 519-469-3392 Bluegrass on the Radio - Page 6 Vice-president - Denis Chad Out Among the Stars - Page 7 bourn Home: 705-776-7754 New Festival Announcement-Page 10 Work: 705-474-2271 Tottenham at 25 - Page 10 Secretary - Wes Lowe 519-539-8967 The Backstabbers-Page 11 Treasurer - Roland Aucoin 905-635-1818 A Matter of Trust-Page 17 Directors at Large Editorial-Page 20 Cindy deBoer-Winterbottom BMACC at SPGMA-Page 21 Karen May Snell Festivals in the Northern States-Page 22 705-788-4362 Festivals 2008-Page 23 Steve Pritchard Northern Sons Gord de Vries 519-668-0418 Amanda-Lynn Stubley From the Membership Chair 519-642-7987 BMACC was 1 year old on March 31/08.
