On Sunday, June 29th, the Arts Council of the Morris Area presents its milestone 25th Anniversary Giralda Lawn Concert on the rolling lawns of the Giralda Farms Corporate Park in Madison (the former estate of Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge), Dodge Drive/Rt. 124 (Madison Ave.) in Madison, NJ. Although much time has elapsed and much has changed in the world, the Giralda Lawn Concert remains an enduring classic. To learn more about this event, please visit the Arts Council of the Morris Area website.

Saturday May 31st

Greenberry's Coffee Shop
Morristown

Hello all,

I am sending this notice in hopes that some of you may be interested in meeting me in Morristown at Greenberry’s Coffee shop on the green to distribute posters and flyers for our upcoming fundraising event The Giralda Concert on the Lawn” featuring the NJ Symphony on June 29, 2008. I had this idea when I was trying to think of a “fun” way to get all these posters out so that we can get more people to attend this year and so that The Arts Council can make more money to continue to promote the arts in Morris County.

Here is the drill……

Meet at Greenberry’s coffee shop on the green in Morristown at 10:00 on Saturday, May 31st if you are from surrounding areas (of Morristown) simply stop by have a cup of joe, take some posters and flyers and take them back to your community to distribute them. If you want to saturate the Morristown area just grab some scotch tape (will be provided) and pound the pavement.

The person or group that gets the highest number of businesses in a town to actually put up a poster or put flyers on their counter wins a prize! The prize is- a bottle of wine and six free tickets to the Giralda Farms Concert a $90. value!

So let me know if you are interested..

I look forward to hearing from you- I promise it will be fun! Bring your friends if you don’t want to do anything just come and hang out at the coffee shop------
