Dear Members,
Welcome to the 2025–2026 season!
I’m so glad to start another year together, and
I’m looking forward to all the music and
growth ahead.
I’m excited about our new website system
launching very soon. It’s been custom-built to
fit our branch needs, and I think you’ll find it
makes everything smoother, from event
registrations to communications.
This year also brings a few important changes in our board. After more than 20 years of
incredible service, we say goodbye to our wonderful June Nelson as treasurer. Her
dedication has shaped our branch in so many ways, and we are deeply grateful for all she’s
given us. Stepping into the treasurer role is Minako Han, and we’re so lucky to have her
talents on board. I’d also like to give a warm welcome to Bella Tseng, who will be joining us
as Website Manager to help oversee our exciting new system.
The updated Member Handbook will be coming out soon. Please take some time to read it
carefully, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Along with it, we’ll also
be releasing the event calendar and the updated branch directory, so you’ll have everything
you need for the year ahead.
Finally, don’t forget about our ongoing collaboration with the Pacific Academy Foundation
Orchestra (PAFO). This is such a special opportunity for our students to perform with a
high-level orchestra under Maestro Jorge Luis Uzcátegui. See details below.
Let’s have another fantastic season together!
Cheers,
Lanzo Luconi
