MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD APRIL 12, 2012

The Holland Society’s Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, April 12, 2012, at our executive offices at five o'clock. Following the meeting we will adjourn to the Cornell Club for cocktails and dinner.

I am extraordinarily pleased to announce that Edwin Outwater, Music Director of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony in Ontario, Canada, will be the recipient of our 2012 Distinguished Achievement Medal. Edwin, a member, is the son of Edwin Outwater III, our distinguished Trustee, who is a resident of Ketchum, Idaho, near Sun Valley. Our guest's brother is Gregory M. Outwater, Trustee, of Summit, New Jersey.

Edwin Outwater served as Resident Conductor of the San Francisco Symphony for a number of years and appears throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia as a guest conductor with a wide number of symphony orchestras.

We are delighted to welcome Edwin Outwater as our recipient of the Distinguished Achievement Medal at the Annual Meeting. We are also happy that Edwin will be celebrating his birthday with us and are extraordinarily pleased that we will have the opportunity to share in this celebration.

Warmest regards,
Charles Zabriskie, Jr.
President
