The Annual Meeting The SRS Annual Meeting is held at the May meeting prior to the Members Night program. The only order of business is the election of officers for the coming year. Each year we elect a new president-elect who, after serving a year in that capacity, becomes president the following year. We have never repeated a president. Thus, in the 37 years we have followed this system we have had 37 different presidents. Tomo Morita is the incoming president for 2011-12. The offices of secretary and a treasurer are two-year terms, and candidates for those offices are elected in the even-numbered years. The by-laws provide for nominations from the floor, as long as you have the permission of the person you wish to nominate.
Members Night: The Members Night meeting is a celebration of individual and ensemble efforts over the past year. During this event we share the pride in the accomplishments of our members, regardless of their musical experience. Ensembles on all levels participate. The achievement of beginners is as important to us as those of professional players. Those still considering whether to enter your ensemble should be in touch with President-elect Tomo Morita to find out if space remains on the program. She will need to know 1) who will play, 2) the title and composer of the work, and 3) the approximate timing. In order to provide opportunities for all interested performers, we ask that each offering be no longer than five minutes, including any commentary.
