Happy December! This year’s annual Madison Songwriters Guild membership meeting will be held on Sunday, January 29th at 1:00 pm at Noodles & Company on University Avenue. This is the Sunday before the Superbowl.
We’re asking all current (and future!) members to come and participate. You can sign up on the spot. Why should you attend? This is where we have a chance to talk about plans for 2012, elect board members, brainstorm a little bit and just get to know each other a bit better. After the official business is done, feel free to stick around and play some music.
Stay tuned for updates to the location and events. We’ll see you there!
