Greenville
Public Library
“Lunch
on
the Lawn”
Part of the
fun of summertime is being able to enjoy a meal outside - especially
while
listening to beautiful music live.
Just
such an event will be available on the Library lawn Friday August 3rd. To celebrate “First
Friday,” Main Street
Greenville and the Coffee Pot are partnering with the Library to
provide box
lunches for purchase from 11:45 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Just look
for the white tent - and listen for the beautiful sounds of the
Greenville High
School Orchestra who will be playing on the lawn.
Please feel free to bring your own lunch or
stop by just for the music! Even
though
there will be tables & chairs provided, blankets and lawn
chairs are
welcome.
The box
lunch costs $7 and consists of a Wrap (cranberry turkey or sweet club);
Salad
(pasta salad or spinach strawberry salad); Cookie; and a Drink (sweet
tea,
unsweetened tea, iced coffee, or lemonade). One dollar from every lunch
sold
will go to Main Street Greenville’s downtownmatter’s initiative. In case of extreme
weather, the event will be
held at the EUM Youth Center across the street.
The
Greenville High School Orchestra will play as part of its fundraising
efforts
for an upcoming trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The Friends of the Library
are making a
generous donation in support. Over
50
kids and their adult chaperones will spend December 3rd to the 7th in
Orlando. Every four
years the orchestra makes this
trip according to director J.R. Price.
While there
the kids will enjoy Disney World but also participate in educational
and
charitable events. They’ll
play at
different park venues and attend music clinics with the Disney World
musicians. A
special invitation was extended to the
orchestra from Hard Rock Cafe at Universal Studios to play at the
“Luncheon
with Santa.” This
event is held every
year for 100’s of area kids. This
will
be the first year they’ll have live music.
As J.R.
shared “The orchestra was invited based on its excellent reputation. It’s a wonderful
opportunity for the kids to
be involved in something really neat. It will be an educational
experience on
many levels.”
So
mark your calendars for the 3rd and join
us for a warm weather “Lunch on the Lawn!”
