Mando Mamas Convention Details


CMSA 2008 Convention

DATE: October 2008

The 2008 Convention is almost here! Well, almost, almost...

We're pleased to be able to announce it will be in beautiful MONTREAL, CANADA!

Because it will be in Canada, US citizens will require an ACTIVE PASSPORT. This takes a while to get, so start NOW so that you don't have any trouble!

The 2007 Classical Mandolin Convention was held in Sarasota, Florida, October 24 - 28 and hosted by the Sarasota Mandolin Orchestra. Questions? Contact ANN PAIGE of Sarasota Mandolin Orchestra.

We had a blast! Make plans NOW to attend in 2008!
