We have another chance to show off. In February, we spent a morning helping with odd jobs around the historic Stow House. The folks there were pretty impressed with how helpful we were, so when they had another project they wanted done right, they contacted us again. And, since they were quite nice and fun to work with, we said we’d help.

We need a dozen volunteers for Sunday, November 2, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The Stow House is getting ready for its barn warming, i.e. the grand opening of its new education center. They need help cleaning up so that the former walnut packing house and surrounding area will be ready for this milestone. The party (on Nov. 16) will include a BBQ, live music and "ranchyard fun," which I assume involves a tractor.

Please RSVP to Liz: liz@sbrotaract.com. Wear grubby clothes and bring gloves if you have them. Feel free to hang out at Lake Los Carneros afterward. It’s a beautiful, underused spot.

The Fiddlers Convention is a day long celebration of American Folk Music at Stow House in Goleta sponsored by the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise.

Come out to volunteer and enjoy a day of music, fellowship, and sunshine!  Anyone with a fiddle, banjo or other Appalachian type instrument can come out and play, participate in a jam session, or compete for cash prizes!   Don’t have an instrument?  Bring yourself and your vocal chords!

Rotaract has been asked this year to help in this exciting event to inspire and foster love for music.  Let’s bring together children and adults from the local community to enjoy and appreciate America’s rich musical heritage!

The Fiddler’s Convention will be held on October 5, 2008 from 10AM-5PM at the historic Stow House in Goleta.  Please contact Jennifer Wang for more information or if you would like to volunteer.  Volunteer admission is free.
