   Greetings:   
      
   The Folk Music Society of New York (New York Pinewoods Folk Music Club) invites   
   you to join us in our annual picnic on the lawn of Jean Ritchie's and George   
   Pickow's house on the afternoon of Sunday, August 26, 2007. That's in Port   
   Washington, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island. Please arrive any time   
   after 12 noon and bring a dish of food to share. The FMSNY will provide soft   
   drinks. You should bring your own chair if you don't want to sit on the grass.   
   There will be plenty of singing, so musical instruments are certainly welcome.   
      
   Barbara Mehlman is coordinating the food and other logistics. If you need   
   advice   
   on what to bring, please e-mail her at:

   The address is 7A Locust Avenue. You have to follow a small driveway which   
   starts on Locust Avenue opposite the north end of Library Drive and which runs   
   between two other houses. You can pinpoint the location on Google, Map Quest,   
   Map Blaster, etc., but if you would rather get directions the old-fashioned   
   way,   
   here they are:   
      
   Take the Long Island Expressway (I-495) to Exit 36, Searingtown Road, and go   
   north. Stay on Searingtown Road northbound past Route 25A. The name will change   
   to Port Washington Boulevard. Continue north approximately two miles into the   
   village of Port Washington. Make a left turn onto Main Street and go   
   approximately one mile to Library Drive. Make a right and go one short block to   
   where Library Drive ends in a T with Locust Avenue. Find parking along Locust   
   Avenue.   
      
   If you prefer to use public transportation, take the Long Island Railroad from   
   Penn Station or Woodside to Port Washington. Library Drive is less than  one   
   mile west of the station on Main Street. You can walk or take a taxicab.   
      
   Just remember not to arrive before 12 noon. The picnic continues until we get   
   tired of singing, or until Jean and George kick us out. You don't have to be a   
   member to participate, but we sure would welcome you into the FMSNY if you   
   decide to join. Their website is:

   Be there!
