Over the years and from various corners there's been discussion about the
need for a community foundation for Somerville. Some people have gone so far
as to do research towards the idea of a foundation but nothing concrete has

Workshops on Friday.
Free music by 25 bands on Saturday.
And the Honk! parade on Sunday.
It's a big event this weekend so I've copied Columbine's post about it from

I thought it should get more than just a calendar listing.
Also–they're looking for volunteers...
