'My vision for South Florida is for it to become a vibrant music and arts community based on mutual respect as well as excellence. I would like to pursue ways to make the union strong and a source of pride for everyone, musicians and non-musicians alike. Of course we need your help: I would like to encourage every one who is not yet a union member to step up to the plate. Become a member and let's work together!'
