WOMEN IN MUSIC MINNESOTA (http://wimmn.com)Networking was launched during a poolside social in August of 2003, when 35 women from diverse segments of the music industry (such as record company employees, music buyers, singer/songwriters and music educators) forged new relationships and strenthened existing ones. We thank those who contributed wonderful door prizes to the event and appreciated everyone's enthusiasm and generous spirit.Participants expressed a desire to continue as a group or perhaps be part of a formal organization to serve our common interests. As such, we have compiled names into a database we can use to inform each other of future events and other items of interest.This database includes the original invitation list, even those who were unable to attend our social event. If you are aware of other women who would like to be included in future communications, feel free to have them contact us.*****The all women's jam is the last Sunday every month at the Blue Fox. It starts at 7:30 and usually goes until 10 or 10:30. It is all ages and is free. The Blue Fox is located on Lexington Ave just south of 694. Go to www.bluefoxgrill.com for directions.

4. Starting a conscious change of how society see women in music: The change on society's views is both internal and external. By nurturing confidence and inner strength, we can start the change of how we see ourselves, effecting how others see us. Externally, we want to free our status from "gimmick" to substance. From seen as sex first to a musician first, we want to bring a new tradition of a 'raised bar' of musicianship and business leadership to start a totally equal world of music.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
