December's Christmas Tunes of the Month

For December, there are four (4) Tunes of the Month, all of which are Christmas songs.  The tunes are Deck the Halls, Hark the Herald Angels Sing, Jingle Bells and The First Noel. 

Moving into the Flex Room

Starting with the Club's December monthly meeting on Saturday, 12/10/11, we'll be gathering in the Flex Room.  This larger room, rated for twice as many folks as Classroom #1, is "on the way" to where we have been meeting.  With excellent turnouts to meetings in October and November, it became obvious that meetings needed a bigger space.  Thanks to BUF/Club members Pat Maden and Colleen Verdan, the Club is able to get the much larger room with no increase in rental fee.  Specials thanks are due to Pat and Colleen and also - obviously - to Erin Marlone and the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship.

November, 2011 Monthly Meeting Report

Today's Bellingham Dulcimer Club (BDC) monthly meeting at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship (BUF) was well-attended.  All but one (1) of last month's "first timers" and two (2) new "first timers" were in attendance.  Music covered included "revisits" of "Bile Dem Cabbage Down in the Arkan" and "Cluck Old Hen" and sharing of "Good King Wenceslas" and "June Apple".  It would appear that a good time was had by all!

November, 2011 Club Meeting

The Bellingham Dulcimer Club's November meeting is on Saturday afternoon, 11/12/2011. at the Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship at 1207 Ellsworth, between H and I Streets, in the Lettered Streets Neighborhood of Bellingham (See pic, below).  It is suggested that new and newer players show up at 1:30PM.  All others should plan to attend after 2:00PM for a Club song circle which will include a "run through" of this month's Tune of the Month, Sandy Boys in A.  Hopefully, attendance at November's Club meeting will top October's, which was awesome.  Later . . .
