 Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends,

We're pleased to showcase our clients’ activities during this unusual late summer season.

The Longmeadow Adult Community Center Fund launched the public phase of its capital campaign to furnish the new community center, now under construction on Maple Road in Longmeadow, MA. The Campaign hopes to raise $750,000 total. The Board of Directors are all community members from Longmeadow. You can follow their progress on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LACCFund For campaign details:  https://www.longmeadowadultcenterfund.org/

The Capitol Steps have paused all live performances in Washington, DC and on tour, until it is deemed safe for audiences and performers alike. Their website and YouTube channels have plenty of archival materials. For updated performance information: http://www.capsteps.com/live/

Gaslight Entertainment, producers of Westfield Concerts, has paused its concert series at the Westfield Women's Club, until it is deemed safe to hold public performances in that venue.
