ear Friends The Summer of 2010 is now behind us, but the good warm feelings still remain. The East End Arts CouncilD is truly blessed to have so many friends that stepped up to support our efforts. As we know, when you support the arts you support your community. We are pleased to have been a part of so many great pro- grams this summer. The East End Arts Council was a proud beneficiary of the NOFO Rock & Folk Festival produced by Josh Horton, Jim Dreeben’s Big Birthday Paddle and Dave Kapell’s gallery Exhibit of Victor Elmaleh and grateful for the opportunity. Our thanks also to BNY Mellon Wealth Management, Times Review Newspapers and Astoria Federal Savings for their support of the Wine Press Concert Series. Also, our thanks to Peconic Landing for partnering with us Gospel Spreads the Joy of to present the first annual Garden Sculpture Exhibit at Brecknock Hall in Greenport. I hope your summer was as fulfilling and fun-filled as ours! Music in More Ways Than One Best regards, The 24th Annual Harvest Gospel Concert Series expands awareness of a joyous traditional American musical art form while raising funds for music scholarships for deserving youth. The series of three free-admission concerts, sung by a 75+ member, all-vounteer choir and led by Artistic Director Maryanne McElroy are scheduled for: Pat Thursday, November 18, Mattituck Presbyterian Church; Friday, November 19 First Presbyterian “Old Whalers’ Church”, Sag Harbor Saturday, November 20 at Friendship Baptist Church, Flanders All performances are at 8 p.m. While the concerts are free, the goal is to support the East End Arts Council’s Francis Ligon Music Scholarship program through donations. Francis Ligon was a dedicated local choir member who sang with the Harvest Gospel concerts for over 20 years; the scholarship fund is a memorial to her.

NOFO Rocked For The Arts! The organizers of the First Annual NOFO Rock & Folk Festival, Josh Horton and Yvonne Lieblein – the husband and wife duo behind a stellar lineup of musi- cians ranging from Mountain to Jorma Kaukonen and Ritchie Havens – presented the East End Arts Council with a generous donation of $5000. The donation repre- sented a portion of the proceeds from the festival. The funds will be used to support the EEAC’s expanded arts education and Jim Dreeben, owner of Peconic Paddler in Riverhead celebrated his 70th year with a cultural programming at Brecknock Hall Big Birthday Paddle, benefiting the East End Arts Council. in Greenport 2010 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Wine Press Concert Series

Fall/Winter 2010 • East End Arts Council  Summer Camps Bloomed The School of the Arts in Riverhead and Brecknock Hall in Greenport overflowed with future musicians, thespians and artists this summer when total of 69 kids from the ages of five to thirteen proved there is no such thing as too much art. There was truly something for everyone at EEAC’s Renaissance and Arts Camps; the younger kids went on a two-week artistic and creative exploration of the wild, wild west through music, visual art and theatre, while older kids immersed themselves in the art form of their choice at specialized one or two-week camps concentrating on fine art, the fundamentals of theatre or becoming a better musician. Each camp ended with either a rocking live performance for family and friends, an art show displaying all amazing master pieces created, or both!

Besides their performance on the EEAC stage at the NOFO festival, you may have heard Tim and Wendy Morrin on the Peconic Riverfront behind the East End Arts Council, or perhaps at the Farmer’s Family Day on the North Fork… Says Tim, “We both were interested in music and performing relatively early in life. Wendy would sing for anyone who would listen and even took a double major in college so that she could major in vocal performance, and I was caught up in it when I saw my cousin perform at bars as a teenager, but really, we didn’t get a chance to perform until we were married and started to mesh our interests together for fun.” They joined their church choir first, then played in their living room until they heard the neighborhood kids cheering to one of their songs one afternoon.
