Dear Women’s Committee,
Well, I would say we’ve had a productive summer — no laying around the pool for us! We’ve been busy refreshing and rethinking who we are and how we move forward. If you joined one of our focus groups, we thank you with much gratitude. Your great suggestions and new ideas helped guide us and gave shape to the next steps we’re taking together.
Here’s what we’ve accomplished so far:
|
-
A new vision statement: With your help, we all agreed upon a new vision statement that reflects who we are and what we want the community to know about us:
Supporting the heart of the Ojai Music Festival — on the stage, in the classroom, throughout the community.
-
Open membership: You overwhelmingly supported welcoming everyone into our group, not just women. What a meaningful step forward in opening our doors wider!
- A new name: You helped us come up with a new name that is so simple yet so complete:
Friends of the Ojai Music Festival
-
Events: We discussed some wonderful event ideas and are now working on a calendar to bring to life.
- Committees: We asked for help with committees, and many of you signed up right away. Wow, thank you! If you’d still like to join in, please let us know — everyone is welcome!

I would be remiss if I didn’t thank Anna Wagner for her guidance, insight, and historical knowledge of this organization. Her leadership of this undertaking cannot be overestimated.
All of the above will be discussed in further detail at our Fall mixer (see more details below).
See you in October!
