As our Spring Issue of NWAS went to the printer we found out that Joe Morelli passed away March 4, 2009. A complete remembrance will be written for the summer issue. We encourage you to send in your remembrances of Joe for that issue. Your cards of remembrance and encouragement may be sent to Joe's wife, Tussy, and to his family at 316B 2800 Chesterfield Ave., North Vancouver, BC V7N 4M1. In the Spring
Issue of NWAS News, we feature Joe Morelli's arrangement of "Hidden
Treasures Waltz." You will love this beautiful waltz. BILLINGS, MONTANA HAS NEWLY ORGANIZED ACCORDION CLUB An accordion club for the Billings region was organized on May 24,2008 according to organizer Leland Cade. Twelve individuals were present and formed the initial membership. Future meetings were scheduled for the last Friday of each month at the Elks Club on Lewis Avenue. Cade emphasized that his vision for the club was that all levels of capability be welcome; that it would include button boxes; other instruments would be . welcome. The number one goal, Cade said, is to create an enjoyable environment where members could learn and socialize, with the accordion being the common interest. Charles Duenow was named Jam Session Straw Boss. For more information, contact: Leland P.

Cheri Thurston, founder of the Closet Accordion Players of America (aka CAPA) has recently completed a project that she called "Polka Therapy." While collaborating with a friend, she has written and recorded a CD of modern funny polkas. She calls it a "drug-free way to cope with stress of modern-day life." In the spirit of "Polka Therapy" Cheri had a Polka writing contest. Details and list of winners can be found at: www.polkatherapy.org.
