Crossroads General Membership meeting  

Saturday, Nov. 6,  at 7:30 p.m. - Big Cities Lounge 

There will be a lot to discuss at this meeting. We will recap the just completed Blues in the Schools programs and the concert with Fruteland Jackson and Hawkeye Herman. I’m sure that several people will want to testify about the Jason Ricci show later that evening at Big Cities - WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

It is also time to hold the election for officers and board members of the Society.  All positions are open for nominations - President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer and five Board of Director slots. Any current Crossroads member is eligible to be considered for any of the positions, which have a one year term of office.

If you want to nominate someone or put your own name up for consideration, please e-mail our current Secretary, Pat Ippen, at tr.ippen@insightbb.com. 

Following the meeting, stick around for a performance by the great Chicago harp player Scott Bradbury, a long-time member of the late Jimmy Rogers band. Scott and band will play the real blues, as he learned from the greats that mentored him. 

So mark your calendars - let’s have a big turnout to celebrate our success with Blues in the Schools and to welcome Scott Bradbury to Rockford. See you then !!!!

And don’t forget to vote !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
