25 February 2010:
Seems like everything is happening this coming weekend, but here is notice of a certainly unusual fundraiser. I met a young lady named Joy at the kick-off for the DC Bluegrass Union Festival which is coming next month at Langley Highschool in McLean. Joy was there to promote "Marathon Jam 2010" which is trying to raise donations for the two Fisher Houses here in the D.C. metro area. There will be an all-day jam (from noon to midnight) at the McLean VFW Post at 1051 Spring Hill Road, McLean (which is really more toward Great Falls at the intersection with Old Dominion Drive). Participants pledge money for musicians to play by the hour. The Fisher Houses provide lodging for families visiting wounded military personnel at both Bethesda and Andrews AFB. This is a good cause for an organization that truly cares about our troops. For additional information on how the event works go to www.bluegrassbook.com - interesting!
