Trustees conduct annual meeting,

The
Board of Trustees of the Delta Omicron Foundation, Inc. held its
annual meeting on Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 16, 2011. Among the business conducted at the
meeting was the awarding of 17 awards of either $500 or $800 each to be used
for college tuition or toward other musical pursuits. Click to view

 The Foundation
is continuing work toward the new project announced at the
centennial conference last year. The Delta Omicron Studio at the MacDowell Colony in
Peterborough, New Hampshire (left), is in need of renovation, and the
Foundation has agreed to lead a drive to contribute to the project.
Last year, David Macy, the resident director of the MacDowell
Colony, brought conference attendees up to date on the current
activities of the colony and the plans for the renovation of the
Delta Omicron Studio. Read
