Rebekka's Corner

Hello, and welcome to the website for women in music. We are a non profit to help women and girls in music.

well, we survived the girls rock camp! It went really well and we had so many volunteers and I want to thank Best Buy and Daisy Rock as our sponsors. Daisy Rock donated 20 guitars to the girls rock camp for give-a-way's and inventory for us. Best Buy sent many volunteers our way to help us during the camp. Thanks also to Jenny Case and all our teachers who were the best team for girls rock camp. Please check the website for any updates and early registration for next year. www.girlsrockandrollretreat.com   Photo's from the camp are on the "Public Gallery" at the top of this page. look for Girls rock Camp 2008

We had such a great jam in July. We had all kinds of people there who were both new jammers and friends we haven't seen in a while. Our next jam is Sunday August 24th at 7:30 at the Mainstreet Bar and Grill in Hopkins. Yup, that's the 4th sunday, not the LAST Sunday. That's how it worked out over at the Mainstreet Bar. This is still all ages and open to the public. If you have a band that wants to play, you can play on the breaks, everything is supplied, just bring your guitar. We just ask that the band be at least half women. But for the jam, you need to be female.

The songwriting competition is coming, it's just been delayed a couple of months. We will be opening up for entries in a few weeks, so stay tuned for that. check back here for details.

Why don't you join today? it's only $25 a year and is a tax deduction because we are a 501 C 3. It helps us to operate and pay bills. We could use your membership or even your time. you can volunteer! e-mail me at rebekkafisher@comcast.net  

thanks for checking in and we'll see you on August 24th.

take care!!
