Julie Vaquilar, Regional Coordinator



Hello San Francisco Bay Area ringers!
I am excited to be your new Bay Area Regional Coordinator. Many thanks to Beckie Wiley for her work in the past and for her help with getting me started during this transition.
 
As a brief introduction, I have been ringing in the San Francisco Bay Area for almost 15 years with various groups including Bay Bells and Low Ding Zone (the world's first bass bell only handbell ensemble). I currently ring with the San Francisco State University Handbell Choir, and if you haven't yet met me, you will probably see me ringing at a National handbell event or an Area 12 conference, as well as here in the Bay Area. I love to ring!
