On Sunday, August 29th the Borderline Folk Music Club will present its annual Picnic & Singing Party from 12:00 noon until
6:00 PM at the outdoor area of the New City Volunteer Ambulance Corps, located at 200 - Congers Road in New City, NY 10956.
Admission is FREE but we ask that you make reservations and tell us in advance that you are coming so that we can adequately
prepare for the anticipated number of attendees. We would also like to know in advance who will be performing so that we can
arrange the program and time slots. Contact Sol Zeller at solz1@optonline.net or (845) 354-4586 to make reservations.

The theme of this year's picnic is "Sing Out For Jean" and will be celebrating Jean Ritchie's miraculous full recovery from a
near fatal debilitating stroke that she suffered 6 months ago. Jean and her family have every intention of being with us for this
this celebratory event if their health permits. This picnic & singing party actually began many years ago at Jean's home in
Long Island and we are continuing the tradition as per her wishes. The event is being co-sponsored by the Pinewoods Folk
Music Society of New York.

Please bring a pot luck dish to share with 6 other people. We will provide the soft drinks, paper goods, and plastic ware.
Please note that this is an ALCOHOL FREE event and this policy will be strictly enforced. Please bring lawn chairs and/or
blankets as you would to any other folk festival. We will have a limited number of chairs available for those coming by
public transportation.

Because this is a large outdoor area we will have a professional sound system with Don Wade as our sound engineer. Last year
some of our senior performers had a problem being heard and at their suggestion the sound system has been added. In addition
to the main performance area there will be a separate area for jamming which will not have sound.

In order to raise money to pay for the sound system we will be having craft vendors exhibiting and selling their wares. If
you would like to be one of these vendors the price will be $20 per table and you have to bring your own table. Please
reserve in advance as the number of craft vendors will be limited. As was the case last year there will be no charge for
performers who wish to exhibit and sell their CDs and we will provide the table space for them to do so.

In the event of rain we will move the festivities indoors. There is plenty of free on-site parking at the ambulance corps
as well as at the high school directly across the street. All facilities are accessable to persons with disabilities.
