Music Series 2016

This month, on Saturday this week is Quintensity, a woodwind quintet from Eastman School of Music featuring flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn. The students will introduce and explain each instrument.
Candlelight Dinners
If you haven’t participated in the past, this is a casual yet elegant event. We share dinner in various homes, meet someone new, have great conversations with folks we haven’t seen, and always enjoy a nice evening. You can sign up to host or be a guest. If you are a Host, you don’t have to do any of the inviting, we do that for you. You simply need to make the main dish, and ask your guests to contribute a complementary side or dessert. If you are a Guest, we will let you know which house you are going to, and the host will call you to talk about the menu and set the time. If you haven’t already made your reservations this is the time to call 328-6571, or email 19thward@19wca.org. We need to have all reservations by Wednesday, January 20.
