Dear Board -

The July Evening of Music was held at the Whitehouse home of Marie Trontell and Jay Wilensky. Very nice!

The August Evening of Music will take place this coming Saturday at the country home of Dave and Ann Marie Schwartz in Blairstown. Once again, Dave is offering his sheep herding demonstration that was very well received last summer. I will not be able to attend this EoM. If any Board member plans to go and is willing to make some notes for me, please send me a private message.

Lastly (but certainly not leastly), on July 26th there was a very special Bonus Afternoon of Music at the Roffmans' house as part of the weekend-long celebration of the Minstrel's 40th Birthday. The idea for this gathering was born late in the month so it could not be announced in the Newsletter. Instead, a Constant Contact mailing was done as a way of inviting the membership. The party took place on Sunday July 26th and was a grand success with many in attendance, most notably some long time members who had moved away. Big thanks goes once again to the Roffmans for their continuing generosity and hospitality. Thanks also to Barbara Moo and Elizabeth Lachowicz for the lickity split organization of the party and to Lori Falco for getting the word out.

Best regards,

Christine DeLeon
