CENTRAL COAST REGION

Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo & Ventura counties.

CENTRAL COAST REGION

This month the link below may interest you while you rejuvenate and prepare for fall. 

​Dear CCDA Members and Guests,

This year, I hope we have opportunities to meet in person and catch up with old and new friends.  As members and guests of the Central Coast community please contact me for help finding resources, or how CCDA can support you. 

​If you would like to offer your time as a local mentor, advocate, are interested in presenting an intercession next year, or something you'd like to do to help, please email me.  
This month the link below may interest you as you rejuvenate and prepare for fall.  Last fall, after being retired for three years, I taught the first quarter of high school choir for a friend on leave.  I am grateful for the generous support of the creative, fun-loving, knowledgable, and kind CCDA educators who shared their curriculum and tech ideas helping me make sense of how to connect with students online. 

I admire the resilience of all of you working in the arts this past year. 
You are the key for us to experience a more meaningful life!  Thank you.

​Share the good news about your choral activities for the "News and Notes" section in our incredible CCDA magazine, Cantate.  (Active photos, one that conveys a story is appreciated.)
