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.
