Friends, I'd like to propose the formation of a CMAA Chapter here in New Jersey. The purpose of this chapter would be to promote the mission of the CMAA more directly to the R.C. church musicians in our area by offering workshops, symposia, and other various educational opportunities. Earlier this afternoon, I had the good fortune to speak briefly with our chaplain, Father Paisley, about this idea, and he expressed his enthusiastic support. Thank you, Father!

Our first get-together/meeting to discuss the formation of the group will be scheduled for September in central New Jersey. Interested parties may correspond here or email me directly at c_deibert@yahoo.com.
