with Bertram Levy
Bertram Levy was one of the original members of the North Carolina based Hollow Rock String Band of the 60’s. Lead by fiddler Alan Jabbour, they played music learned directly from oldtime fiddlers in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia and their 1968 album is credited with launching
the traditional American fiddle music revival. In 1977 Bertram created Centrum's "Festival of American Fiddle Tunes" which has inspired untold numbers of musicians and created an amazing traditional music community. It continues on today as "Fiddle Tunes".
Bertram
has 5 Old Time CDs and will have some available at the jam.
Doors will open at 6:45 and as usual a $1-$2 donation is requested to help pay for lights and heat. Snacks to share (like cookies) are appreciated. Questions? call Marla-360-385-692

Quimper Grange Food Bank Garden 2016
A Ton of Work, A Ton of Produce!
Thirty-one generous volunteers logged in 1,069.5 hours of work at the Quimper Grange Food Bank Garden by mid-November of this year. At last tally 2,257 pounds of fresh organic produce had been donated to the Jefferson County Food Bank: carrots and beets, eggplant and garlic, over 50 crops were harvested. Russian kale, broccoli and chard are planted and will continue to produce until spring.
Volunteers did much more than planting, weeding and harvesting this year there was also a focus on making the whole operation work better so it will be more productive in years to come. Highlights in improvements are: the building a functional deer fence, adding a second hoop house, installing an irrigation system and building a covered vegetable washing station.
If you are casting about looking for ways to make a contribution in this world consider joining others growing healthy food for the hungry people right here in Port Townsend. For more information call Jo at 360-385-0456
