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.

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!
