This Friday, people! Going to be a blast! Make a day of it.

Just ten bucks admission, no minimum (though they do sell light fare, beverages, and yummy desserts), and a jar will be passed around for contributions for the performers. We will earn every dollar.249 City Island Avenue. If you are taking public transportation, youultimately have to get the BX29 Bus. You can take the #6 train to Pelham Bay Park, and catch the bus there. It’s worth the trip.Those of you who already told me you will be there, a big hug to you.
