Please join me in congratulating our own Debbie Roza-Mercier on being the successful candidate. Of course the bad news is that the Board is losing a great Member, but the loss is minor compared to the benefits Debbie brings to the position.

Ian Janes has finally finished his new album, "Piece of Mine". It's been 8 years since Ian last recorded an album, a time during which his life has changed a lot. Ian reports that the actual recording was very quick and easy once he found the time to do it. (With two small children, finding time can be a challenge!) "Having a lot more on my plate has really forced me to maximize the time I have to write and record," says Ian. "I'm really pleased with the result." To celebrate, Ian has planned two CD release shows. He'll be playing all of the songs from the new album, "Piece of Mine", accompanied by drums, upright bass and piano/organ. He'll also be playing material from his first two albums. The first show is in Halifax at the Carleton on Sunday, June 6th @ 9pm. For more info on the show and the Carleton visit www.thecarleton.ca .
