WOW!  It is truly hard to say goodbye to season 2008-2009. Our concert "Many Voices, One Land; Songs of Peace & Justice in the American Tradition" was a huge success and we are so grateful to have had a full 9 months of singing these incredible songs at many events along the way.  We were honored to sing at the Human Rights Fair last November, for WILPF at their annual holiday party in December, at our annual service event for the Watsonville Homeless Shelter Services in March, at the Reel Work Labor Film Festival in April, as well as our annual Fast for a World Harvest event for Oxfam.   All these smaller events prepared us well for the big concert weekend on May 16, supported by a Cultural Council grant, as well as the "reprise weekend" event the following weekend for the UUF community in Aptos.   We raise a final glass of Joe's wonderful chai to all the people who came before us and passed down these powerful songs that tell important stories about our history.  Yes, the annual concert was truly a huge success, both musically & financially!  Thanks to all who came to listen, sing, and lend a hand!
