SUMMARY:Newlin Grist Mill - Intergenerational Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:June 10th Event at Newlin Grist Mill\nOn June 10th Wilmington Friends Meeting will hold a daylong intergenerational event at Newlin\nGrist Mill where we can learn about some of the building trades used to construct our 200 year old\nMeeting House and tour Newlin’s grist mill\, as well have a picnic\, play games\, and explore Newlin’s\nmany trails. Western Quarter Friends (young and old!) are invited to join our Concord Quarter Friends. \nNewlin Grist Mill’s South Picnic Area (entrance located off Cheyney Road) will be our “home base” for\nthe day and this is where you can park. From here it is a short walk to the mill\, where hands-on activities and grist mill tours will be held. \nThe South Picnic Area has a large ball field in one section\, a pavilion with picnic tables in another\, and a small field adjacent to the picnic area where we’ll have children’s games such as blob tag\, wheelbarrow and three-legged races. Feel free to bring balls\, bats\, gloves\, additional outdoor games\, bubble-making items\, picnic blankets\, and portable chairs. Attendees need to bring their own lunches and beverages\, with some to share with others if you are so moved. If anyone wants to bring musical instruments they would be welcome\, though there won’t be any amplification system available. \nComplete the registration form (linked here) and return it to Wilmington Friends Meeting as soon as possible\, but no later than May 28th\, to reserve a slot for the hands-on activities and tour of the grist mill. You can also register the day of the event if there are open slots available but note that there are\nlimited numbers of slots for each activity.\nA $15/person fee will entitle you to participate in the hands-on activities and the mill tour.\nThere is no cost to picnic with us\, to walk the grounds\, or to watch blacksmithing demonstrations\, which will be on-going from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.\n\nSome of the trails on the Newlin Grist Mill property run along streams\, and there is a pond on the\nproperty\, so children will need adult supervision. \nPond fishing (9 a.m. – 4 p.m.)\nNewlin has a pond stocked with trout. If anyone wants to fish they must register at the front desk before beginning to fish\, and registration for pond fishing ends at 3:30 p.m. Please note that those signing up at 3:30 will only have half an hour to fish\, so it’s recommended that you come early to get in enough time to catch something! You must keep what you catch or you can donate it to the Tri-County Bird Rescue.\nCost: $5.00 per person and $4.00 per fish caught. Bait is available for $1.00/slice.

SUMMARY:Friends Folk Club Concert: Tish Hinojosa
DESCRIPTION:The Friends Folk Club is very pleased to announce a rare area appearance by Tex-Mex musician Tish Hinojosa on Friday\, October 13th. \nTish Hinojosa is a singer-songwriter from Austin\, Texas. Hinojosa’s blend of folk\, country\, Latino\, and pop has an undeniable far reaching appeal\, garnering her accolades such as a White House concert at the invitation of President and Mrs. Clinton and teaming up with artists such as Joan Baez\, Booker T. Jones\, Flaco Jimenez\, Pete Seeger\, and Dwight Yoakam.\nShe has recorded as an independent artist as well as for A&M\, Warner Bros\, and Rounder Records and has been a featured artist on Austin City Limits\, A Prairie Home Companion and other NPR programs. \nWith sixteen CDs to her name \, Tish’s distinct sound has gained her much critical acclaim. Her latest CD After The Fair\, released in 2013\, was recorded in Germany and is reflective of her 9 years spent in the Beatles old stomping grounds in Hamburg. Tish has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and continues to draw a loyal and growing audience.\nTish’s song\, Something in the Rain was included on the CD Songs for the Earth: A Tribute to Rachel Carson \nThe Oxford Friends Meeting is a century old Quaker Meetinghouse with great acoustics\, no bad seats\, and that” spiritual vibe” only a historic space provides. \nTickets are $15\, and will be available at the door. Children 12 and under are free. Refreshments are available at a reasonable price. Doors will open at 7:00 PM\, and concert will start at 7:30 PM. The Oxford Meetinghouse is located at 260 S. 3rd St\, Oxford\, PA. For more information call: 610-869-8076. Email: friendsfolkclub@aol.com orhttp://www.mundotish.com/  \nCome visit the best (and loved) little concert series in Southern Chester County for over 20 years.\nThe Friends Folk Club is an all volunteer-community run concert series. Proceeds benefit the Oxford Friends Meetinghouse \n“Her songs are richly detailed with slices of life… Hinojosa is a strong\, poetic\, sensual\, and conscious voice.”\n– SPIN MAGAZINE – \n“A talented songwriter with an understated but utterly unaffected delivery…vivid…touchin g…pointed…playful…en gaging. A rare gift for melody that’s perfect for Hinojosa’s lovely\, relaxed soprano.”\n– THE WASHINGTON POST – \n“Hinojosa is an angel in cowboy boots with one of the sweetest purest songs to be heard in quite awhile. And when she sings in Spanish\, her voice has more warmth than that of Linda Ronstadt. Tish Hinojosa delivers music like an angel.”\n-HARTFORD COURANT- \n“The cultural diversity of Texas lends itself to fascinating music\, a style characterized by the natural blending of strong American South flavors with influences from across the Mexican border. One of the finer artists to hail from that backround is Tish Hinojosa.\, who exhales earthy folk portraits as effortlessly as she moves from Spanish to English in the lyrics of her songs.” THOMAS KINTNER
