2021 Community Service

Hello, Everyone,

During the past year, Community Service has included the following events:

Sadly, we have learned of the passing of 6 of our Members and former Members.

Our Members have also lost 7 Family members.

3 of our Members have suffered from serious Illness and/or Injury.

And very sadly, we have just learned of the passing of our Beloved Bill Staines, on Dec 5th,

just 3 weeks after being diagnosed with an aggressive recurrence of a cancer he had been

living with for several years. Our thoughts are with Bill's wife Karen, his son Bowen, and his extended Family and many, many Friends.

On a happier note:

We have had one Engagement: Von Scully and Jenna Lynn, on July 22nd,

and one Marriage: Annie Donahue and Todd Dennison, on October 24th.

Congratulations to both couples!

I must apologize: Although sharing these events via Email "Obits" notices and

in the Newsletter, I have been very behind in sending cards for all of these events,

and I am trying to catch up with these now.

Regarding our Folk Project Performers' Resource list, due to Covid, there have been no requests for Performers for the past 22 months, until a few days ago, on Dec 5th, when I received a request from Mike Del Vecchio, on behalf of the Santa Train, with rides occurring on Saturday, December 18th. Emails have been sent to our many Folk Project Performers, advising of this new opportunity to perform for a paying Gig.

Wishing all of you Happy Holidays!

Sincerely,.

Evelyn Maurer
