1.  Dalis sez –

 

Wine & Music has come and gone. Lots of folks saying they loved it this year. Great music and fine weather.

 

You will be receiving updates for Folk Festival beginning very soon. We are already looking forward to it.

 

Had a very successful Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference. Next International Folk Alliance will be in Memphis in February. Go to www.folk.org for info.

 

Texas Folk Music Foundation Summer Music Camp is in the planning stages as well. Will keep you posted.

 

 

Thanks for being a part of our world!

Love,

   Dalis

3.  2007 FESTIVAL RV SITE RESERVATIONS

We are currently taking REPEAT 18-DAY RV SITE reservations only for next year’s Kerrville Folk Festival.  If you had an 18-day reservation for the 2006 festival, you have until December 31 to reclaim your site for 2007.  After that, we’ll begin taking 18-day reservations for any remaining spots on a first come first served basis. 

Don’t be left out in the Cold (or the Meadow for that matter)…Take Care of your 2007 RV Reservation Now!

4.  STAFF RETREAT THIS WEEKEND ON THE QUIET VALLEY RANCH

We love our volunteer staff so this is one of the ways we like to show our appreciation by having this NO WORK gathering each fall.  We couldn’t put on these wonderful festivals without them.  Thanks to all of our volunteers!

5.  DONATE TO THE BACKSTAGE SHOWER FUND

I think we all understand how important it is to keep are volunteer staff clean and happy.  While the existing backstage shower and bathroom facilities are still "functional" they are rapidly decaying to the point where they will soon be unusable.  With your help we can raise the money needed to build a new structure that will last for another 35 years. Please give what you can!  You may make a donation on the website
(www.kerrvillefolkfestival.com/shower_fund.htm ) through secure Pay Pal transaction, or you can mail a check payable to:

Backstage Shower Fund
c/o Kerrville Folk Festival
PO Box 291466
Kerrville TX 78029

Thanks to a generous donation from Robert Orenstien, we almost have the funds available to do this project, but we still need more.
