MEMO Summer Concert Series Kickoff & Picnic

The 2014 MEMO Summer Concert Series began on Thursday June 12th with a rousing concert by Brass Connection. Sponsored by Needham Bank and hosted by Noon Hill Grill, the evening featured fun give-aways and lively music under the big tent. MEMO thanks the Zullo Gallery for loaning us the tent for the evening. It was a perfect evening – complete with an end-of-year MEMO picnic catered by Noon Hill Grill.
