THANK YOU & LIVE MUSIC ANNOUNCEMENT!
Last night was such a beautiful celebration of Jennifer M May and our community. 🥰
The music was as diverse as the people that live here: bluegrass, blues, rock, folk, country, a little punk and freestyle. We had Doug at the piano playing “Linus and Lucy.” We had long timers perform alongside new comers - welcoming them to our Gardiner family. Carson & Jacky poured their hearts into some Rage Against the Machine for a moving musical moment. Every bit of the night was different, and somehow it all belonged together perfectly - just like us.
How do we carry this feeling forward without waiting until we lose someone special to us?
Maybe the answer is simply to celebrate community as often as we can. Let's put our differences aside, show up for one another, appreciate what we have and recognize the good in the people around us. Let's keep gathering, making music, help others without being asked and create more reasons to be together—not only in times of grief, but in joy as well.
Last night was gratitude. It was love. It was acceptance and belonging. It was community. It was Gardiner.
And it was Jen.
Now, let’s keep it going. Starting today...
The lovely and talented Jake & Meredith of "Used Boots" are here for you this beautiful Sunday afternoon from 3-6pm. See you there!
