NOTES:

1. We're cancelling tomorrow's Growing Center sing because I failed to find someone to open and run it.  Sorry!  Pretty sure we'll be back on 2/17.
   
2. Saturday, there will be a brunch in Davis Square for introductions, discussion, and planning related to the Folk Song Society of Greater Boston; details below.
   
3. The weekend of Feb. 13 is the Boskone F&SF convention, featuring lots of singing.  Again, details below.
   

Tue Feb 3, 1-2pm: Bring a Song (to Lexington)

Where: Lexington Community Center, 39 Marrett Rd, Lexington, MA
A pilot daytime song circle with Deborah Anne Goss.  RSVP: 781-698-4840

Sing a song or lead a sing-along -- with or without instruments; solo or with a group.  Songs may be of any kind, but please nothing too rude or scary.  Feel free to request a song or ask for help singing one.

Sat Feb 7, 11am-2pm: FSSGB discussion brunch

Where: Davis Sq.

The goal is to introduce new folks to some of the current board of the Folk Song Society of Greater Boston (https://fssgb.org/) and to try to jumpstart discussion of what people would like to see and what they're prepared to do.  (Note that attending does not commit you to anything!)
Feel free to invite others you think might be interested.
RSVP to jeff....@gmail.com for address.
This is intended to be the first in a series of such gatherings.
