Hello Friends,
Welcome to the lovely month of May... dare we say, it is perhaps a favorite of ours...
We have a few things to announce - you may want to mark your calendars and begin to plan ahead!
Tonight: Friday, May 02, in Hyde Park, New York:
A Benefit for Sloan and George - presented by Summersongs friends and members.
A wonderful line-up of talented artists and a most fabulous raffle. Here is the link to a lovely page (the ink isn't even dry yet!) where you can purchase any additional virtual tickets right online or just make a donation! www.SloanandGeorge.org
Plan Ahead: Saturday, June 07 in Pawling, New York:
Sloan's traditional and annual, and always festive and filled to the rafters, Spring show at The Towne Crier.
Be sure to get your tickets before they disappear. Special guests to be announced soon. www.TowneCrier.com
Spoiler Alert: The rumors are true. Sloan will have a new CD to offer everyone, just in time for the Towne Crier show.
Rediscovery is a collection of hand-picked cover tunes, a musical rediscovery of, and reconnection to, ten songs that have inspired and influenced.... Stay tuned for additional details and sound samples. www.sloanwainwright.com/store
Thoughts From Sloan: "The whirlwind weekend of wonderful New Jersey shows with Rufus was downright sublime. After a 4 month hiatus from performing, it was a thrill to be back on stage and an honor to be singing with my beautiful and talented nephew. Newsflash! Rufus' audiences are truly amazing! Generous, Fun, Great listeners! I can't wait to do it again."
Be A Part of Something So Important: Sat-May-24 in Katonah, New York,
The Driving For Donors rally and registration.
Luann and Jeff Morris are new and wonderful friends. They have been a great source of support and kindness to George and Sloan as George continues to recover from his January 2008 bone marrow transplant. Jeff had a bone marrow transplant in July of 2007 and he's doing great.
With gratitude and thankfulness, the Morris' and the McTaveys are joining forces with an amazing young man, Pat Pendraja, supporting his mission of increasing awareness and adding numbers to the National Bone Marrow Registry.
Only 20% of people who need a stem cell or bone marrow transplant are able to find a suitable donor match. We want to help change these odds. To that end, Katonah is confirmed as one of the stops on Pat's second national tour. This is a grass roots type drive, Pat and his Mom, and his donated RV, will be here to help us register new donors.
When: May 24th, 2008 10:00am-4:00pm
Where: Katonah Village Library
Who: Essentially anyone in good health between the ages of 18 and 55..
(Let's try and encourage our adult children to participate in this effort)
Donations will be accepted (especially for you over 55's) but REGISTRATIONS are our primary goal.
Refreshments, music and commradery will be in abundance.

Many humble and sincere thanks for all the love and support -
we look forward to the coming months among friends.
Sincerely,
Sloan and George and all of us on
The Sloan Wainwright Team
