How to help . . .
The Boyne Valley Garden Club's "Garden of Good Eatin" cookbook is available at the Boyne Area Chamber for $15. The book includes more than 160 pages of recipes and cooking information, including sections for Appetizers and Beverages, Soups and Salads, Vegetables and Side Dishes, Main Dishes, Breads & Rolls, Desserts, Cookies and Candy, and This and That. The club, which was started in 1979, now has more than 100 members. Funds raised from the cookbook will help the club maintain 13 different flower beds around town. The garden club meets on the fourth Thursday of the month, March through November, at the Boyne District Library.
On Monday evenings from 7 to 9 p.m., songwriters, acoustic musicians, and the public are invited to a songwriter's circle and jam session at the Subway shop at 114 Water St. The weekly event allows composers to showcase their original compositions and see how other musicians can provide accompaniment and ideas on arrangement. The event is hosted by Boyne City recording artist and performer Dan Farrow. "Subway has a unique space in the rear of the store that is separate from the dining area. It is beautifully decorated, has its own entrance, and has great acoustics," says Farrow. In addition to studying the craft of songwriting, discussions about the business of music and successful publishing strategies will be part of the mix. For information, contact Farrow at 675-2935 or by e-mail at danieldonovanfarrow@yahoo.com.
