No concert this week-Backpacks for kids in need

[View]

No concert this week - we need backpacks for kids in need !

Dear Folks,

The Free Concert Series is taking the week off as the scheduled act had to postpone. We have one more Friday night concert-next Friday with the Chestnut Hill Improv Group and Old Time Music-more about that next week. Then we're planning two days of music, Saturday October 9 and Saturday October 23 in conjunction with the last two yard sales of the year. More news will be forthcoming.

I'm delighted to say that my daughter Jesse has found a job working with the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians working with immigrants and their families, particularly teaching English as a Second Language in the context of job skills. She has also launched a project to collect school supplies for the children in these immigrant families. We're collecting the materials here at the shop. Please read her plea below and consider helping out.

Thanks and enjoy this Fall, even if it feels like Summer today.

It’s Back-to-School time and many families do not have extra

money to purchase much-needed school supplies.

At the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians, we provide

services for immigrant families, many of whom are struggling

to find jobs and are on welfare. Some of our families have as

many as 8 children and are in desperate need of school

supplies.

Please help us by donating a back-pack filled with school materials such as pencils, crayons, pencil cases, books, and arts and crafts supplies.
