Subject: Feb. Event Hosting report

Boardoise:

A short but sweet Event Hosting report for February.

The January Evening of Music, hosted by Diane Polledri, was something special. Diane and Sandy were gracious hosts, by my very rough estimate the turnout was approximately 40, the music was spirited and non-stop, and Diane's baking was right out of a magazine.

I'm also happy to report that $100 of the Board's $500 grant was well-spent. Our friend Dave Rimelis was a perfect musical ringer at the January Eve O': He put a real charge into the music circle without dominating it, and the Beatles sing-along that he led was very well-received. That this was the first time that we've had a paid ringer, and it worked better than I could have hoped.

Our February Eve O' will be hosted by Steve Humphreys and family, in their beautiful, spacious home in Randolph.

Tim and Nancy were set to host in March. However, in light of Tim's illness, Mark and Robin Schaffer have graciously stepped up and taken the ball.

As always, I hope you won't hesitate to hit me with any EH-related suggestions that you may have.

Submitted in the spirit of the Project,

Jay
