<p>Dear MASTA members:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please see heartfelt message below about a string teacher opening. Many of you saw the TCAPS presentation at the MMC last year so you know what a wonderful culture of music-making they have in Traverse City. Our BEST WISHES to Ann Marie, who also served
faithfully on the MMC Planning Committee.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi Janis,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I wanted to let you know, and request that you please pass along to the membership information about my resignation with TCAPS public schools. It has been a difficult decision, but I have decided to make a career change. I want everyone to know that
I am leaving an amazing group of students; music, athletic, and academic colleagues, and an administrative team that is second to none. The position is 6-12 orchestra between the middle and high school daily. Whoever fills this position will find themselves
in a part of an incredible, supported program located in the most beautiful city in Michigan!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This also means that I am stepping down from the Planning Committee. I have already talked with Jim about this and there is another director who is beginning to step in.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you Janis!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div>Ann Marie </div>
