We performed this at Morse Institute Library in Natick to a packed house and it was a very popular event. It is a great non-denominational way to "light up" the holiday season. "Dear Diane, Margot and Tom, What a fabulous program you gave us last month! The stories were fascinating and the music was beautiful. We had so many people stop by and say how much they enjoyed the program. It was the perfect way to start off the winter season. Thank you so much." Liz Bailey, Morse Institute Library, Natick MA
