Hello Again MASTA!
 
I am very interested in getting nominations for our MASTA Teacher of
the Year & MASTA Administrator of the Year.  The submission deadline is
December 1, 2007.  So please get your nominations to me as quickly as
possible.  As of today, I have received only one nomination (for Teacher
of the year).  We would like to honor our outstanding string educators
and administrators at our upcoming Michigan Music Conference, so get
your nominations in now!
 
There is a nomination form and information in our upcoming Fall
Newsletter, but until that reaches you, here's what you need to know to
submit a nomination.
