Our events are always free and typically wellattended by regulars, for whom we feel we provide an uplifting experience in these times of growing isolation in our society. To spanned beyond our established core crowd, we very happy to be embraced. For the most part, we do our own thing, and most of society is not aware of what we do. So were very happy to ar arrange a special event that day to rep
