OLDE INNE THURSDAY SESSION
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Thanks to all who have helped launch Mark and BB's Thursday night session so successfully.
During the month of March we'll have a designated receptacle near the session area to raise funds for our
good friend Horace Thayer, who is once again doing the Project Bread "Walk for Hunger". His goal this year
is to raise $7000 and we musicians - who may not like to walk but love to raise money for a good cause - have
offered our assistance.
If you plan on visiting us some Thursday evening, please be prepared to "feed the kitty" for this great cause!

A FALLEN HERO
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
On behalf of our Thursday night session musicians, I would like to extend our deepest sympathy to the family of Yarmouth PD Officer Sean Gannon, who lost his life in the performance of his duty on April 12th. This was a tragedy that never should have happened; please click here if you care to share my personal thoughts on the subject.
Please keep the fallen hero's family and his colleagues in your prayers, along with all the cops, firemen, EMTs, and military who put their lives on the line for us every day. We are very fortunate to have them among us. God bless them all.
