Richard The Home Office has information that can help you. Call or e-mail Kathy. The first step you should take is to call the president of the local music and/or piano teachers association. Not to put a damper on your enthusiasm, but when I was in St. Louis and also here in Hawaii, the piano teachers just don't seem to want to hear from us. In St. Louis, the first time I called the president to set up a date to give a presentation, I was told that the schedule for the year was already set. And when I call the next time, I was told that the schedule will be set in a couple of months, and they would contact me. But they never did. In Honolulu, the only meeting I was asked to come to was an executive board meeting, held pool side in a condo building, at which only 6 piano teacher showed up, and I had to give a a presentation on tuning without a piano. But as I said, have the president of your chapter contact the president of the MPTA, and go from there. Wim -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.

More specifically, the piano teachers have association meetings fromtime to time and we had thought of getting our groups together for acombined meeting sometime and have a presentation of some sort, aquestion/answer time, etc. This would be the first meeting like thisfor us, so it's a given that we should each present basic information abouteach other's organizations, what we're all about, etc. andthen.....what? Have any chapters out there done similar thingssuccessfully. Where did you meet, what kind of set up, topics, etc. Brochures? Fliers? Pamplets? Information packets? Stuff of that nature thatsummarize basic piano care, or tips for the teachers/students on buyingor selling their piano. Share business cards or swap contact lists? Time for idea sharing! Samplesappreciated! Thanks in advance. Richard W.
