Annual Show -> AfterGlow The afterglow will be at the AMVETS building on North St. in Yarmouth immediately
following the show. Until April 15th, a meeting night, the price will be $5 per attendee. After that date the price will be $7.50 per attendee. That is designed to help us make sure we have enough food, or at least come closer. The food will be platters of fruit, cheese and meats, and some Subway-like sandwiches. The facility will allow individual tabs to be run for any libations, does not take credit cards, and does have an ATM on the premises if you run out of money. We are able to stay until roughly 1:30 but the bar may close earlier due to State law. Ample parking and the hall is within a couple of miles from the High School. Please see either Larry Newth or Marshall Wagner about tickets. Don't wait until the last moment please. It will help the planning for food to have a paid-for count a week or so ahead of the event. We hope that our fine quartets will be there to regale us with their great music and possibly the chorus will have enough attendees to perform a song or two. Visit the Members Only Section of www.downeasters.org for the Music Library and other Downeasters Resources.
