August 2nd ~4:00pm to 8:00pm – PPNA Summer Picnic

We are considering a seafood boil and Champion Chicken for our main dishes this year!   DJ Mark will be spinning the iPod dial, and if you want to hear anything special, be sure to pack your pod and Mark will hook you up. There’s plenty of room for outdoor games, so bring your bag-o or jarts, or whatever else you’d like to play. If you’d like to help out in any way, please contact Rachel at 727-9952.

Music Lovin’ Volunteers Needed

The Tosa Tonight Series is looking for volunteers. This could be a great opportunity for neighbors to get together and serve in the community.

Is anyone interested in heading up a group from Pabst Park to volunteer at a show? I am happy to forward along any requests if someone wants to head up a Tosa Tonight Volunteer Committee!

Tosa Tonight Summer Concert Series 2009 – WE NEED YOU! (Yes, summer is almost here!)
The fun, free, and fabulous Tosa Tonight Summer Concert series kicks off its 2009 season in the inaugural year of the Rotary Performance Pavilion on June 24th. For over a decade many people have given of their time, talent and treasure to make a permanent band shell a reality, and now the Pavilion will be used for the first time this summer. The Tosa Tonight concerts are organized to raise money and heighten awareness for the expanding City of Wauwatosa Hart Park.
Performance dates for the 2009 series are June 24th (The Empty Suits and Swing Nouveau), July 15th (Marc Ballini and Stealin’ Strings), August 4th – National Night Out (5 Card Studs ), and August 12th (The Screaming Orphans and Gaelic Storm). Performances begin at 5:30 and end at 9:00PM.
The continuation of the free concert series depends heavily on money raised through donations as well as through profits made at each concert. Volunteers are needed to make these concerts successful. Therefore The Tosa Tonight Committee asks for your help (Neighborhood Associations – please pass this along to your members!!) Volunteers are needed at the Leff’s Lucky Towne tent to assist with food/beverages. Shifts for volunteering run 5:30 – 7:30 and/or 7:00 – 9:00. All four concerts this year will take place at the Rotary Performance Pavilion (Hart Park between 68th and 70th Streets off of State Street.)
If you can offer your time or have questions about the concerts or donating, please contact Mara Henningsen at 414-453-2848 or maraminx@wi.rr.com. I also ask that you forward this request to your friends and neighbors as volunteers are the cornerstone of making these free performances a reality.
