ANNOUNCEMENTS

Francie Buckley and ​Mark Williams are looking for someone who would like to play with them in a guitar ​trio, roughly intermediate level. francie@mind.net or mark.b.williams@charter.net.

As a membership-based organization, the JCGS relies on annual dues ($20) to continue operating. We encourage all people who attend meetings, either to play or to listen, to pay dues. If everybody who attended did so, we could generate at least $700-$800 annually before any other fundraising. We’re currently up to $400 for the year.

See the evolving new website (jeffersonguitars.org) for videos of performances of the last meetings. Over time, the website will also include additional information like ongoing gigs by members.
