OCRS Halona weekend retreat Get ready for Halona! Thanks to Tish Kimball, we have a confirmed reservation at Halona, a beautiful cabin in Idyllwild, for June 4, 5, and 6. The Halona weekend is not a workshop—but a chance to get together and play music with friends amid pine trees and fresh air. We will have group playing, or you can hike, shop in town, or just relax. The weekend is informal and just for fun. More information and registration forms will be sent by separate e-mail and also will be available at the March meeting and future meetings If you would like more information, feel free to contact Matthew Ross at Matthew.Ross@jud.ca.gov or matthewkross@cox.net
