Meetings
Meetings are normally on the first Monday of each month at the first Unitarian Church at 5210 Fannin at 7:30pm. Meetings consist of a "music circle", allowing each attendee an opportunity for a musical performance, share a song, tall tale, announcement, or other item which he or she may wish to share with the group. Non-performers are just as welcome as performers. After all, musicians, singers, storytellers, all need an audience.

Our EMAIL List

“We have an email distribution list that we use to email information about Second Saturday Concerts and about our monthly pickin’ parties. If you are interested, you can email hartmancm@sbcglobal.net and ask to be put on the Folklore list. You will only get 2 emails per month from us and we do NOT share our distribution list.”

There will be a Pickin’ party on Sunday May 18, at the White Hall Community Center (near Navasota) beginning at 2 PM. Louise Auclair, and Faber McMullen are co-hosting it. Bring a covered dish to share. Guests are welcome. Don't forget your instruments!

Directions: Head northwest out of Houston on Highway 290. Then head north towards College Station/Bryan on Highway 6, but when you get about 9 miles south of Navasota (at the green mileage sign), start looking for the “Highway Intersection” (yellow diamond-shaped) road sign, followed by a “JCT 2988” sign. (There’s no traffic light, so sharpen your eyeballs.) Turn east (right) on Hwy 2988.

Go past CR 314 and CR 321 and keep going on 2988 until you reach the White Hall store (three miles) at the intersection of FM 362. Turn right at the intersection and go up the little hill about 2/10th of a mile. The White Hall Community Center is on the right. It has a hysterical marker in front, too. And over the big doors it says “White Hall Community Center.”

Hope everyone will be able to make it. Plenty of parking, 2 PM to 6 PM or so. Rain or shine, and bring your greatest recipes. You know how much we look forward to the good food. Almost as much as the good music!

Lost? Call Weezy at 281-468-4195!

PS: If you are coming from Conroe or The Woodlands, or that end of the world, you can take Highway 105 west from I-45 towards Navasota, and then turn south (left) on FM 362 to White Hall before Navasota, and then go past the 2988 intersection to the Community Center. Sure! That’d work too!
