Dear Colleague, Dear Colleague, Welcome to Power Talk. We at Festivals of Music and Music In The Parks hope that you find Power Talk an interesting and valuable resource. Tom Talamantes puts a lot of effort into producing this program and we at the office appreciate his efforts, as I hope you do also. We want to build upon our past success with new ideas and programs and encourage you to feel free to offer articles to present on this site. A new feature is, "The Doctor's In", where you can email me questions or remarks about our programs or suggestions for the future. Let's make this a two-way street. Our travel group, EPN Travel has experienced and brilliant travel planners. So if you have a travel question send me an email and one of the group travel planners will help me with the answer. I wish you a successful and most positive year. We look forward to serving you in the future, and we hope to have many of your students involved in all of our educational programs.
