Thanks goes out to all the members of the Volunteer Committee for the fantastic fun, food, and musical fellowship that we all experienced at yesterday’s picnic. I personally enjoyed the opportunity to mix with you all and the relaxed picnic atmosphere reflected by everyone’s smiles. Bravo BIG REED ENSEMBLE, and all the Musicians that performed throughout the afternoon! I was so pleased and entertained by the performances of each of you! Thank you for sharing your talents with all of us! Your music connected with the audience and we left with “Smiles on our faces and Songs in our hearts”. Jim
