Ashleigh Wehmeyer: Home

Many of you may have been wondering where I've been lately and what I've been up to. Our NSAI group just couldn't draw the membership in the Belton location, so Cody Cotton and I called it a day. It was a shame for us and for NSAI members in the area. We had great numbers in Round Rock, but for reasons beyond our control, we had to move further north. Thanks to everyone for your support. We gave it a good six months and had a wonderful workshop with the incredibly talented Gretchen Peters in November. Everything happens for a reason, and the group closing up shop seems to be no exception. We found out in February that my husband would be deploying to Iraq five months early and we had a lot of things to get done in a short period of time. I had a bunch of songwriting workshops scheduled at local elementary schools and conferences which were wonderful. I also juggled baseball and soccer season on my own this spring. I enjoyed every minute of it, but now it's time to get back to playing and writing and even emailing! Hope to chat with you all soon!

I can't thank all of you enough who opened your hearts...and your wallets at my request. We raised $500 for the Junvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. I thank you and my neighbor and her daughter, on whose behalf this money was raised, also thank you. Here's to finding a cure!

I'm so excited to announce that our NSAI workshop will host a mini-seminar with Gretchen Peters (Independence Day) on Saturday, November 3rd, from 1-3pm, at the Harris Community Center in Belton, TX. We are thrilled to have Gretchen share her insights on songwriting and the music business as well as sing some of her well-known hits...LIVE.

Check out our NSAI website-- www.myspace.com/beltonwaconsai for all the details and to reserve your seat! The seminar is open to the public and the cost is just $10 for NSAI member and only $20 for non-members.
