Greetings:

The summer picnic has been an annual event of the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club for many years, and we hope it will continue as long as Jean and George are willing to have us. That is entirely up to them, of course. But please note that NYPFMC sponsors many other wonderful events throughout the year: concerts large and small, singing parties, community sings, Gospel and Sacred Harp sessions, educational workshops, tributes and conferences, weekend retreats in the country (the next one being October 20-22 at the Nevele Grand Resort in the Catskills), and the Eisteddfod New York Festival of Traditional Music.

For more information, please visit our website: http://www.folkmusicny.org/

One other thing. Although we were founded by people who met at Pinewoods Camp in Massachusetts, and although we are an affiliate of CDSS, the New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club and Pinewoods Camp are not one and the same. To avoid confusion, we (the club) are beginning to use our corporate name more and more. It is Folk Music Society of New York, Inc. So when you see the letters FMSNY, please know that it is still us!

Anyway, the storms passed last night and the sky is clearing. In a few hours it shall be a great day for a picnic.

See you all there!
