Gull Lake Fine Arts Alumni Reunion

Gather 'round, everyone! This Sunday, May 3, all Gull Lake alumni who participated in the fine arts--band, PAC, choir, or visual arts--in all eras are invited to a reunion gathering to reminisce, eat, play, and generally have fun. Come on along! This first event for GLFAA (that looks official!) takes place from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue (the post office road). Need more info? Contact Kim Ford at GLFineArtsAlumni@yahoo.com.

Oh, and don't forget to join the GLFAA group on Facebook!

PAF meeting March 10

Much ado about many things! Please join us at the regular meeting of the Performing Arts Foundation on Tuesday, March 10, at 6:30 p.m. at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue. Among the items for discussion will be a barbershop harmony fundraising event paired with an old-fashioned ice cream social; an open-mike night for poetry, prose, and music at RACC; the Gull Lake Fine Arts Alumni reunion in May; and grant requests. All fun, all good, all mean the arts are hopping in Richland. Hope you'll be there.

Those awesome Gull Lake bands

This news from Kim Ford via the Gull Lake Fine Arts Alumni group on Facebook (which you're encouraged to join, if you partake of the Facebook at all): On Friday the Gull Lake Middle School Band went to Portage for the Middle School District Band Festival. The 7th Grade Band received straight 1s, and the 8th Grade got straight 1s in performance and a 2 in sightreading for an overall 1. This means that all Gull Lake bands received 1s at Festival, and all qualify for State. Congratulations, all! Our bands are indeed awesome.

And, by the way, all Gull Lake Fine Arts alumni--whether you're on Facebook or not--there will be an all-arts-alumni reunion on the afternoon of Sunday, May 3. Mark your calendars now, and watch for more info!
