Roethke Virtual Summer Series begins August 4

FOTR is pleased to announce that our Roethke Summer Picnic Series, in its 20th year, will be offered online for the first time ever. The first event of the series is scheduled for August 4, 2020, at 7:00pm EST. Our speaker, Fred Reif, author of Tell ‘em ‘bout the blues. Reif was born and raised in Saginaw, Michigan. He is a musician, manager, writer, researcher, publisher and collector of American roots music. He has re-discovered many American blues musicians and written for a number of Blues publications, world-wide. He is also a world-renowned washboard player.

Please register beforehand. A $5 donation to FOTR is requested, as we continue to raise money to save the Stone House. However, we recognize that finances are tight these days for many reasons, so the donation is not required.

If you do not have a PayPal account, or if the $5 is a hardship right now, please email us directly, info@friendsofroethke.org, and we will manually register you. A Zoom link will be provided to all registrants before the start of the event.
