<p>Dear MASTA members,</p>
<p>I learned late last week that the City of St. Johns Chamber of
Commerce just decided to hold their annual mint festival on Aug.
14, so we got bumped. We are going to move the date for our
gathering to Sat. Aug. 7. I hope you can join us to 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. If you had
already RSVP could you please do so again for the new date! </p>
