<p>Dear MASTA members,</p>
<p>I hope you are enjoying the warm weather and things are starting
to return to normal for you. Now that the restrictions on social
gatherings are being lifted, the MASTA executive board thought
that we should have a social gathering for MASTA members this
summer where we can come together, make some music, and have a
picnic. Below are the details. Please complete this Google form so
we can have a head count for the orchestra and for the food. <br>
</p>

<p>If you could please RSVP by July 1, that will greatly help with
our planning! I will send out a reminder, including a map of the
park to everyone who is attending as we get closer.<br>
