Welcome to Ohio!

It’s refreshing to see handbell activities and events resuming after the past two years of challenges faced by choirs due to the coronavirus pandemic. As your bell programs start up this year, consider what assistance and resources you need to enrich your community and church choirs. As your Ohio State Chair, I want to help you grow your bell programs and engage with other ringers, long-standing and new. I hope to see you at state and area bell workshops and conferences, and invite you to introduce yourself so that I can learn more about you and your handbell needs. If you are not currently a Handbell Musicians of America member, consider joining to access all the handbell resources and information available to you.

Check out our Ohio Handbells Facebook page and “like” it to stay up to date. Bookmark the Area 5 Concert and Event Calendars and check back often for educational and concert opportunities. If you need to publicize an event, send me information about it and I can help you spread the word. If you have any questions or concerns about what’s going on in our state, don’t hesitate to email me at the address below.

Happy ringing,

Cheryl Onesky
Ohio State Chair
