Special Events:

            Throughout the course of the actual expedition we are actively searching for means to contribute to, and participate in the communities through which we will be passing.  Where possible, we are working closely with Community Development offices, local historical organizations, churches, community organizations, and previously scheduled events in the communities we will be visiting.  As several members of Voyage to the Bay 2006 are professional musicians we will be presenting various concerts of classical and Celtic music that will feature piano, violin, penny whistles and assorted instruments.

These specials events and concerts will allow us to reach a broader audience of individuals and fulfill our Mission and Objectives.
