Mission Vison "Cranberry
Days of Caring" Project - October 2009
On Friday, October 2nd the Bogmeisters went out in support of the
"Cranberry Days of Caring". Our community service project was the
repair of used eyeglasses for use by an eye doctor who is going to
Ghana to help people there with vision problems. He'll do surgeries,
and also test people's eyes to see if they need glasses. If they do,
he'll give them prescription glasses that are appropriate for their
vision needs. We repaired (aligned and cleaned and recorded the lens
powers of hundreds of glasses during our four hours of service time.

Penn's Colony Festival -
September 2009
The last two weeks of September found the Bogmeister chorus setting
up shop at the Penn's Colony Festival in Saxonburg, PA. It's like a
village of shoppes where people have colonial items and all the
vendors (including us) dress in colonial garb.
We were fortunate to be asked to take over a small permanent hut
called the "Turkey Foot Inn". We sold smoked turkey drumsticks for
$5 a peice. Also on our menu were beef sticks (cheesy, hot and
regular beef), we sold three varieties of cheese (smoked swiss,
smoked cheddar, and a Kojak. We had root beer, mulled and cold cider
and bottled water.
This was all done to raise money to purchase music, uniform
parts and accessories, and for advertising. This will go a long way
to help us stay solvent as we share our gift of music with the
community. Plus it was lots of fun. - exceprts from The Aiello
