• The Vice-president shall assume the duties of the President in case of the President’s absence.
• The Secretary shall be responsible for the minutes of the Board, keep all approved minutes in a minute book, and send out copies of minutes to all.

If you are interested in running for office or want to nominate someone for office, send an email to president@queencityballadeers.org. If you nominate someone else, one of the current board members will check with that person to confirm whether they want to serve. Nominations will also be accepted at the potluck.

 Summer Jam at Sharon Woods

There will be a summer jam at Sharon Woods again this year. Jams will start 6:00 PM the week after the last Leo of the season. Last year we had a good group for the weekly session. Papa Joe will be the coordinator this year, so use the Contact Us page to email him with questions.

Help spread the word.

Sharon Woods Jam Site

To get to Sharon Woods, take I-275 to the Sharonville (Route 42) exit and then go south on Route 42/Lebanon Road to the park entrance on the left.

Last year, the jammers met near the Pavilion Grove Shelter, located at the Sharon Centre parking lot, which is the second drive on your left after you enter the park from Route 42. There is a playground and picnic area there as well.

There is a $10 charge per car for an annual park sticker.

 Playing and Listening Around the Area

The Other Rooms** page has been updated with information about some new venues and upcoming concerts, and we’ve added a page called Gigs & Open Mics for performers looking for an opportunity to play.

One venue that looks like it’s going to be fantastic for both audiences and players is the Plain Folk Cafe in Pleasant Plan, Ohio. More information is available on both Other Rooms** and Gigs & Open Mics.
