Mark Your Calendars>>>Spring Benefit Concert on Friday, April 2!
Watershed is having a benefit concert again this spring. Here are a few details. It will feature Rush DeNooyer and Malcolm Brooks on guitars (their music is amazing), Hannah Batley singing and on piano (her voice is beautiful), Watershed’s own Calliope String Quartet, and Glenn Jenks as host. The concert will be at the Rockport Opera House. As we did last year, we’d love to involve everyone in the Watershed community in one way or another. We’ll need everyone to help sell tickets, people to put up posters and make food for intermission, business sponsors, etc. We are trying to think of a theme for the program (last year, we called it “A Watershed Event”). If you have ideas or questions about any of this you please contact Janet at jmcmahon@midcoast.com.
Wish List
We still need:
• a vacuum cleaner that works well
