The repairs to the gazebo are complete ! As a way of saying Thank You to all who helped we've scheduled a concert for May 24th. That's this Sunday on Memorial Day Weekend. Lionel and the Big Trains will play. They did the music for the fundraiser so we asked them to do the first concert of the season. They are a professional band whose members are willing to help out in worthy causes so come out and enjoy their blend of jazz, blues, standards and fun!
Now that we've accomplished the goal of the gazebo I am hoping to piggy back onto helping the library. A group of us have started an effort we've called Hearts for Holbrook. We're raising money to help the library. At first it was to try and match the possible grant to repair and expand the building itself. Now we don't know about that since the financial news isn't that great, we may need to put whatever we raise just into the actual existing needs. In any case wherever the help ends up it will benefit the library and ultimately all of the town. So when you come to the concert we 'll have some snacks and drinks and coffee mugs and possibly other things that will go in to that effort. Bring your kids, if you have visiting friends or relatives bring them too! It will be a nice way to showcase some of the good things we have here. One of the best things I think we have is actually the heart or spirit of the people of this town. Not having lived any place else I have no means of actual comparison but we really do come together when we want to don't we? Let's celebrate and pull together again.
While some will see what we don't have I say look what we do have. We fixed the gazebo , the Sean Joyce friends have made the great fields and facilities, and all because as a town we've cared and done something about it. No need to stop now, see you there!!
