to the many individuals and organizations who attended and supported the concerts this

summer.

Due to safety restrictions, the concert series was different this year with no Cub Scouts

offering refreshments, no rain location or bathrooms, and commencing July 9thrather

than in June. Regardless, listeners came out anyway to enjoy the music and each

other's company, while practicing responsible, respectful social distancing guidelines.

We are so grateful for your attendance, patience and support and were thrilled to have

had such good weather, even though one of the shows was cancelled over the threat of

rain and apologize to those who showed up only to learn the band had cancelled.

Thank you also to all the fabulous bands who agreed to perform, sometimes at the last

minute. Your music and positive energy really lifted us up during this unusual summer.

We also welcomed Strangers Helping Strangers, a new non-profit that collected non-

perishables to distribute to those in need in our community. The Museum Board was

happy to be able to donate some of the monies collected during concert intermission to

this organization.

And finally, a sincere thanks to our generous sponsors, whose monetary donations

enabled us to hire the wonderful musicians you heard this summer. We could not do this

without you!
