Randy Singer Appointed to Executive Board

Singer was unanimously appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Lou Barone. Singer has performed at such prestigious concert events as The Merrick Festival, The Miami Lakes Jazz Festival, the Miami Earthday Concert, and the 10th Anniversary La Rosa Ballet Flamenco Concert and with artists such as Julio Iglesias, Garth Brooks, Emmy Lou Harris, Tanya Tucker, and Blondie. He is the featured instrumentalist and vocalist for the Planet Earth Project and can be heard currently performing with "Smoke Rings Vocal Project", "SouthBeat-Brazil" and Maryel Epps. He performs regularly in respected venues such as Toni Bishop’s Jazz Club, Fisher Island, the Marlin Hotel, and the South Beach Brasserie. His goals as an Executive Board member are to help the rank-and-file (as well as the uninitiated musicians) realize that the Union can greatly enhance their lives and to show how union dues can be offset by Union benefits.

Thank You!

Life Member Meeting Planned 3/1 at 1:00

Many thanks to Rick Ricciardelli for a donation of $500 to the Miami Area Life Members Association. Among other things, we are currently planning a reception for Life Members on March 1 from 1:00-3:00pm at the Local. If you would like to attend this function, call Mike Selker at the Local (954) 925-1996 for details and directions!

Life Insurance Benefit

Just a reminder...If you joined the Local before May 1, 1997 and have not been suspended, resigned, or expelled since then you have a $1000 life insurance policy through South Florida Musicians Association. Any lapses in membership since May 1, 1997 will cause you to lose this benefit. If you have any questions about the status of your policy, please give us a call and we’ll be happy to let you know if you’re still covered.
