IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

March 3, 2012 

Dear Blues Society Members, Fans & Performers,

The board of directors have held out for as long as we could but due to insufficient funding, we are not able to produce a ‘Summertime Blues’ Festival this 2012 year. We are deeply disappointed to have to announce this but it highlights the challenges for volunteer societies everywhere.

‘Summertime Blues!’ 2011 was truly a milestone for Nanaimo and a magical experience for all involved and attending. We sincerely thank all those who contributed with their talent and passion and hope that others in our community would like to experience the joy of volunteering toward a common objective.

On the upside; some of our dedicated volunteers and Island performers are looking to fill the void with a smaller ‘Blues in the Park’ event . Rick Becker will be heading this up. We will also be able to focus on a couple of dances this year.
