Friday after Thanksgiving Serendipity Cafe at the Lutherans. Music was good, attendance was up. New staffers working on tasks! Good to see Alumni Staff and performers. Plenty of help right up to the end. That's what I call "Terry's Serendipity Cafe" !

Good Event at the Lutherans, attendance

Good Event at the Lutherans, attendance up again to over 60, fine music, alumni presence, solid staff participation, without Mike Berlin or Greg Pason. Special thanks to Ben and Madeline, who helped out greatly, even though Lola was not there!

 The Atrium Cafeteria turned out to be a fine place, with plenty of space, restrooms and electric power. We had great bands, a fine open mic and quite a few mosquitoes.  Television Skies ended up the show with a top notch performance. There were no complaints that I heard about. Also we bought our staff […]

 Great to see our old friends and Alumni

 Great to see our old friends and Alumni, such as Maya B, Your Mystery Guest, Elana and Danielle Sclar, Rory MacLeod, and others. Good music, good weather.  We must now recruit a new staff.

The small audience did not deter this group from putting on a fine show in spite of the adversity of circumstances. I need to speak to PRCA about help with flyer approval.  And some other things.
