Volunteer Opportunity! Be a co-conspirator for Folk!
FSGW Board Members make it all happen. We could not offer hundreds of dances, concerts, festivals, story sessions, jams and other events each year without dedicated board members to plan and implement our activities. We are recruiting new board members for a 1-year term beginning July 1.
Please consider running for the Board. You can contact the election committee at
[email protected].
Know somebody who would be perfect for the Board? Nominations will be accepted at the Mike Agranoff concert on March 21 (see details, below) and at the Sunday Contra Dance on March 22.

FSGW CONCERTS
Saturday March 21, 2015 at 8:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. 
Mike Agranoff Concert
Direct from the Coffeehouse of the Absurd, Mike Agranoff comes to us, bringing his special brand of melodious mayhem. Ably accompanying himself on guitar, piano, banjo and concertina, Mike's repertoire ranges from Tin Pan Alley tunes of the '20s to fiddle tunes to his own music. He is a gifted storyteller who also recites poetry and does dramatic recitation. His choice of material veers toward the humorous with deeply moving interludes of grace and beauty. For a preview, see Mike's website.
Glen Echo Town Hall (upstairs), 6106 Harvard Ave., Glen Echo MD.
General admission is $15; free to members of FSGW, and free to residents of the Town of Glen Echo.
Following the intermission, there will be a very brief meeting of FSGW members for the purpose of accepting nominations for candidates for the 2015-2016 FSGW Board of Directors.
