Texas Heritage Music Foundation
Sometimes Quarterly Newsletter
June 2002
From the Director:
We need a name for this newsletter…..Ideas?
The winner receives a THMF black/gold t-shirt. Deadline for entry is
July 15.
Project Reports:
Texas Heritage Living History Day is Friday, September 27, 9-3 in
Louise Hays Park in Kerrville. Free. Sponsored by local business
donations, foundation grants, individual contributions. Open to the
world -- teachers and students take advantage of this opportunity to
learn using stories and songs. We have added a possible Thursday night
reception for artists. We have added a seminar for papers and
presentations of Texas heritage on Saturday. We have added a
fundraiser on Sunday: "Literacy and Learning Concert" featuring
Terri Hendrix
and Lloyd Maines.
Tickets are $15 each. Proceeds benefit Families and Literacy
and the Texas Heritage Music Foundation. 3:00 p.m. in Dietert
Auditorium on the Schreiner University campus in Kerrville. Seating
limited. We still need sponsors to help fund the educational event. We
are inviting businesses to buy blocks of seats at the concert and give
the tickets up for donation to families and students to enjoy as well.
Become a patron by buying ten or more tickets.
Texas Music Coffeehouse Series begins on Wednesday,
September 5, at Schreiner University. We will feature a tribute to
Jimmie Rodgers (with a song by Schreiner president Tim Summerlin), a
story by Tony Navarra as Jimmie, and a tribute to songwriters,
featuring Cindy Terry, Tim Steele, Eric Gerber (if he's not delivering
a baby).
Wayne Kennemer Scholarship Fund: We gave the 2001 grant
to Michael Wedgworth from Medina. Ariel Allenkamp is the 2002
recipient, an award-winning member of the Comfort band. Both students
wrote compelling essays and demonstrated need. We have not had a
fundraiser for the grant since the Willie Nelson/Little Joe y La
Familia concert in 1997. We will apply part of the proceeds from the
Terri Hendrix
and Lloyd Maines
concert on September 29, 2002, to this fund.
Membership: We need a volunteer to coordinate the
membership program. Since we don't send out reminders, we don't get
the $20 renewal. And this office needs some operating money even if 5K Laser is donating the office space.
Staff: Andrea LeBlanc worked on the educational project.
Jeff Seaton is working two hours each morning in the office. Tim
Wilton is working on grants (only 3 hours/week). Kathleen Hudson is
still the volunteer director. The new board of directors is as
follows: Eric Gerber, Jack Fields, Janice Kennemer (scholarship
committee), John Krause, Sandy Wolfmueller, Ziggy Scharton, Randy
Scroggins, Tony Navarra, Mike Walker, Ron and Candace Jackson, Gary P.
Nunn and Blake Holloway.
Our ongoing sponsors include 5 K Laser, AC Print, Glaze Designs,
Maverick Internet, Family Sports Center, Kerr Business Services,
Wolfmueller's Books and Records, Peterson Foundation, Schreiner
University, and many local businesses.
About the Director:
Kathleen Hudson is starting her second book on Texas music, Women's
Voices in Texas Music, for University of Texas Press. She
continues to present papers at educational conferences, teach
full-time at Schreiner University, direct the freshman experience,
lead travel courses to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and present
programs for various service groups.
Another
Texas music moment,
Kathleen Hudson
