What a beautiful day for a bbq!

On 26 November, MusiCares Outreach team volunteered and performed at the Sai Kung Stray “Friends Paws for Xmas” event.

Members helped out by walking dogs,  organising, and helping to sell.

They also had a chance to taste some of the food from the bbq.

After a visit from “Father Christmas”, it was time to share a bit of music with the guests.  MusiCares played We Wish You a Merry Christmas, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and Hallelujah.  It was a bit distracting to have our own mic operator!

Things didn’t operate on a set schedule, so this was also an opportunity to practice growing our skills of adaptability and flexibility when dealing with things beyond our control.

In 2018, MusiCares will be performing a benefit concert for Sai Kung Stray Friends.  We’ll share the details when it is all arranged, and hope you will all plan to attend!
