New Hempstead Presbyterian Church is hosting a Musical Picnic on Saturday, June 18th, from 4pm – 7pm (or thereabouts) at Murchison Hall. We’ll start the fun with a picnic potluck dinner from 4-5pm, serving hamburgers and hot dogs hot off the grill. Please bring cold food–chips, salads, desserts–to share. After we eat, we’ll have a selection of local musicians performing. It will be a casual, social event on the north lawn, indoors if raining. Voluntary donations will be gratefully accepted! Invite your friends and family!
