Two topics dominated the 2013 general membership meeting of the Navy Musicians Association: what a good time we're having, and how attract more MUs so they can share this experience.
The meeting was marked by a distinct lack of whining, moaning and bitching. Somehow, we're all on our best behavior. Vice-president Kim Holl noted that the hotel management and staff have complimented the NMA on its conduct and professionalism. I guess they were expecting the Ringling Brothers Clown Convention.
President Terry Chesson announced the appointment of LCDR Carl Gerhard as our Active Duty Liaison. If you've ever met Carl, you know that he's the right guy to spread the word to our active-duty shipmates about the benefits of membership in the NMA. And if you've heard him at our jam session, you also know that he's a hell of a trumpet player.
Our current officers and board of directors were reelected by acclamation to serve further two-year terms.
The meeting was over in 45 minutes. The whole thing was smooth, efficient and focused. It just didn't seem right.
And now, until tonight's closing festivities: Liberty Call!!!!.
Frank Mullen's very unofficial source of poop, skinny and bitching for present and former U.S. Navy Musicians.
