Thursday Night Sessions at 23 East
Starting on Thursday, May 24th, and every Thursday after that, Scott McClatchy will be hosting “The Session At 23 East”
This is NOT an ‘open mic’ – these sessions will be based on the great tradition of ‘Irish Sessions’ – where musicians gather on a weekly basis to play songs they love. For these sessions, we will have some great, traditional, Irish players – but we will also have contemporary players … bringing in great “Americana” songs.
For now, this will be an acoustic setting, with use of the house PA – but no amps – no drum kits (though percussion is welcome!!).
For folks coming to see the show – there is no cover – For the musicians who want to play … join in!
The music will start, every Thursday night, at 8:30pm.

Support Oakmont Business District Improvments
For more than five years the Haverford Township Civic Council and our Action Group, "The Citizens Task Force for Commercial Revitalization" have been working to improve the business districts of our Township.
Two years ago The Citizens Task Force for Commercial Revitalization became the Haverford Partnership for Economic Development.
The HPED is a partnership of residents, businesses and government working toward the same goal of improving our community.
The Haverford Township Civic Council and HPED need your help to convince the Board of Commissioners that a much needed renovation of the Oakmont parking lot, street lighting and sidewalks should be approved at the next regular meeting on April 9, 2012.
The Commissioner's work session is this Monday night, April 2 at 7pm in the Quatrani Building. The HPED is first on the agenda to present the plan for the Oakmont Business District improvements.
