Area III Fall Board Meeting
The action items from the fall board meeting held October 12 & 13 at Centreville UMC in Virginia will be posted on www.areaiii.org as soon as they are completed and approved. Take a few minutes to see the exciting things that your board is doing to further the fun and learning experiences for handbell ringers in Area III! If you are interested in volunteering as a district chair and help with contacting local schools and churches with bells (and maybe those who might be interested in borrowing the Area III chimes to begin a program) and furthering opportunities for folks in your neighborhood, please contact your state chair. The contact information is located in the November issue of the Area III newsletter, the Bell-O-Gram. It is posted on our website in beautiful full color!
