weekend ringing, eating, holiday stuff

[Laura Dickerson <lauradi rcn com>]

    Saturday July 1st - regular Old North practice, including 
visitors.  My goal for the day is good striking (listening and handling 
exercises, lots of attention to rounds).  Possibly firing practice.  
Methods as requested and possible (think about Stedman in particular).

    Sunday the 2nd - regular service ringing  at both towers, with an 
informational talk in the garden during the Old North ringing.

    In addition to the general Boston-area Harborfest events, Old North 
is having a family Colonial fun festival on the weekend afternoons. 
Expect even more tourists than usual.

    Tuesday the 4th Noon - 1PM at Old North, sort of like service 
ringing but anyone who can at least ring rounds is encouraged to attend. 
  Likelihood of decorative snacks.

    7 PM  picnic in the garden/Moseley Hall at the Advent. We have 
gluten-free and dairy-free needs among the attendees. Possibly the best 
thing would be to bring your favorite potluck picnic food but make sure 
you can list all the ingredients so that people can be safe. Feel free 
to bring family and friends.

I still have not heard back about the timing of the 1812 Overture (and 
therefore the ringing).  Sometime between 8:30 and about 10:15 PM, I 
guess. I will update when/if I learn more.
