Big Week

Hello all,
Well we are in the final stretch for the Ecumenical Fund Raiser this Friday night. Met with the school officials again today to go over logistics. For those of you new to this blog, this Friday evening at Country Elementary on M-36 in Pinckney, we are putting on a concert for the community in conjunction with three local parishes and Gleaners. St. Mary's Catholic Church of Pinckney and Community Congregational are raising money for their youth missions; while Arise Unted Methodist is raising funds for the hurricane survivors of 2008. And as part of admission, we are giving $5 off the ticket price if someone brings in canned goods for Gleaners Food Bank.

Artists performing will be Laura MacKimmie and the bands BoHerald and Raw Deal. All three have performed for us on Open Mic nights at the Insights Group in Brighton and we can say all are quality performers. A great variety of music providing a great night of entertainment for some equally great causes. Pass the word and share the wealth, buying a ticket can be a tax deduction!

Now the following evening, there is an Open Mic night at the Insights Group. This Saturday we are proud to present Ms. Alyson Muir from Pinckney High School and at least one other band also from Pinckney. Alyson was recommended to me by the vocalist teacher at PHS when were looking for someone to sing the National Anthem at our football golf outing back in August. She blew the crowd away with her rendition and gave our outing more of a "football" feel. We have stayed in touch since then are very excited that she will be performing on our stage this weekend. Come see the future and support local music in our area.

Tickets for the Friday night fund raiser are $15, with a $5 discount if you bring in a canned good.

Tickets for Open Mic are $10 adults, $5 for students and again a $5 discount for bringing in a canned good---so students CAN BE FREE with a canned good!!!!
