Thanks for a great weekend.

Summerfolk 2007: what a blast! Feedback is coming in now. The festival was a success artistically, financially and organizationally. Emails and letters are arriving with people's thoughts and impressions and we appreciate that they would take the time to get back to us. We have built a good foundation and a positive feeling of energy from which to start planning for Summerfolk 2008.

Our festival volunteers did a fantastic job as always. Festival goers and performers have been getting back to us to say how much they appreciated all the effort that our volunteers put into it. They also appreciated the friendly and caring way festival services were delivered.

Now it is time to turn our minds to the next steps. One of the first thing on the agenda will be a Volunteer Appreciation Day on September 22nd and printed invitations went out on the weekend. We hope that our volunteers and their families will be able to take the time to join us. After working so hard together this is our chance to relax and have some fun together.

The Annual General meeting takes place on September 29th at the Old Courthouse. Life goes on and we have some board members who will be leaving. We have been fortunate enough to have a very active and productive team this year and it will be difficult to replace those who are leaving. The nomination committee will be meeting shortly to prepare for the election.

A lot of the work of the organization is done at the committee level . These administrative volunteers work throughout the year on various projects and initiatives. Soon we will start the process of recruiting for those committees as well. If you think you might be interested leave a message at the office and we will get back to you.

So thanks again to everyone who came to the festival and to those who worked on it. And keep an eye on the website for more news.
