AFCI
Have you (if you’re over the age of 70) received our recent mailing, The Beat Goes On, volume 2? If so, we hope you found some useful/interesting segments. We’d love to hear your feedback, so as to make the next volume even better. If you weren’t eligible, you’ll still have an opportunity to read it. Extra copies will be in public sites for people to pick up.
Want to be an AFCI hero and help us finish the gifts of benches and tables for our six towns? You may be artistically inclined and want to follow John Reilly’s example and take a bench or table to decorate yourself (or with a friend). Or you may join Kate Webb, BAAM Coordinator, and follow her guidance on Thursday, September 8, 10-2:30 – on Forest Rd., across from Telstar. For more information and to volunteer: coordinator@bethelareaartsandmusic.com.
