It’s been way too long between posts…
Joan Jennings of our Executive Committee has worked feverishly with the producers of the new Shaw Performing Arts & Crafts Festival. We hope the inaugural event has a strong showing, and we could use your help – both volunteering and spreading the word! See below:

The majority of the events will take place on the 4100 and 4000 blocks of Shenandoah and at the Mullanphy School Auditorium.
