22nd Regional Conference March 9–10, 2007 Red Rocks Community College Lakewood, Colorado March 9, 2007 Dear Conference Participant: On behalf of Red Rocks Community College, I am pleased to welcome you to the Annual Conference for 2007 of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of The College Music Society. For only the second time in the Chapter’s history, a community college is host for the Annual Conference. This conference fulfills one of my goals as (now Past-) President: to have more involvement of the community colleges in the professional organization. Growing numbers of students seek out the preparation and support these colleges offer, whether fresh from high school or returning to college after being out of school, and whether for new-found interest in Music or for filling-in of gaps in previous study. Red Rocks is pleased to have you visit our beautiful campus. Please take time to walk around our grounds, to see our Pavilion and multi-purpose field, or at least across our “Bridge” (by the cafeteria) that overlooks Golden and Denver. We hope you enjoy your stay!

They were drummers and storytellers and very good friends. In this lifetime, Sondra and Helen became performing partners in 1999 while playing with the African drum troupe, Oyoyo. They both realized an affinity for culturally-based rhythms, stories, and songs and struck out on their own under the moniker of Alafia (which means “peace”). Much of their current programming centers around the themes of peace, building bridges, African and Middle Eastern culture, and actively engaging their audiences—which have ranged in age from 2 to 92! This dynamic duo have shared their talents at the Arapahoe Library District’s Storytelling Extravaganza, at the Rocky Mountain Storytellers Conference, The Winter Festival of Stories, and numerous other venues across the Front Range of Colorado. “If you are attending a festival, look for our names, as well as Alafia ..
