This is our first summer as a non profit, we are working with a great group of people on our board. There is a lot of foundational type stuff happening that has been on the back burner since we started this all in 2014. We’ve spent a lot of time applying for grants and being awarded some which is awesome! We got funding to support a year of Under 21 Open Mic events as well as a series of All ages Open Mics. More on our plans for this in the coming weeks.

Pictured here, a fixture at the LD since 2014, Sarah Brooks’ baby grand piano. Folks may be finding a home for the instrument that we’ve been looking after for the past 8 or 9 years. We can use the extra space and the piano is not being used as much as it should be. Recycle and reuse everything!

In between all that we were planning on presenting some music at Jerry Jam and sadly our host town, Cabot VT, was badly flooded and the whole event has been postponed. That left us with a bit more time to do more groundwork for future things and also enjoy our all-too-short summer months up here in the north country. Donate to Help on the Way.
