Dear Members, Friends and Traditional Music Lovers,
It has been another very interesting and challenging year for our organization.
As you know, our board made the decision to go forward with the 49th Delaware Valley Bluegrass Festival this year, and it was another great one.
When we made our decision in June, all signs indicated that the Covid threat was largely behind us.
As we all know, the situation then reversed itself and, although we took precautions and enjoyed a wonderful festival, the Covid-19 situation had a negative impact on our attendance, expenses and financial results.
At around this time last year we asked our members and friends to participate in a fund raiser to help sustain our organization through a challenging period, with the expectation that by now the effects of the pandemic would be a thing of the past.
Your response was outstanding and greatly helped us to present this year’s activities and programs.
However, we still face challenges in the coming year, and we are once again asking for your financial support as we continue our mission in supporting and preserving Old Time, Bluegrass and Traditional music.
