Just FYI, beginning 10/16 the intersection of 241 and Shuffle will be closing for a year. If you check the MAPS website, there are directions for alternative routes.

I’m so excited. We have been asked to play at Raintree, in Uniontown, on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3rd, at NOON. (Call will  be 11:15-ish) They will pay us/donate $500. THIS WILL BE IN LIEU OF REHEARSAL THAT DAY. Mark your calendar. We need AT LEAST our typical Thursday daytime folks to give a good show. (We really need all of you! 🙂)

We WILL NOT be doing ‘Light the Boulevard’ on December 4 due to space issues and lack of available collaborative rehearsal time. We will plan better for next year!

See you Thursday!

Cathy

Nice Job today, everyone. There will be brownies tomorrow.
