April 15th concert volunteers – Thanks to those who signed up! We might need one more person to help set up the cocktail food, when the concert bands are finished & while the jazz bands are playing. It would be between 4-5pm. Realize not everyone is probably staying but if you are, would you be willing to lend a hand please? We’re trying to get one or two people from each band so you may not be needed if there’s already a small army:)  Email Jackie – jackie.scheffel@gmail.com
