Walk for Hunger

The Walk for Hunger

last year. They have asked us to return to our normal location
and time slot – Greenough Boulevard from 11am to 3pm on Sunday,

Please let me know if you’d be interested in playing with us.
What we play and how much rehearsing we do depends a lot on who we
have to play with.

Party

The party starts at 4 on Sunday. I appreciate people who
tell me they’re coming.

Some people were alarmed at some of the difficult music in the
booklet I sent a pointer to yesterday. (Let me know if you want
the pointer.) I just wanted all the Christmas music we play to be
more easily accessible — some of it is more suitable for Tuesdays
than for the party. We will still have the “Carols for Parties”
books, with all the old favorites.
