Helen's Birthday Fundraiser for the Cape Cod National Seashore

Music and Art with the Cape Cod National Seashore

Helen is sponsoring a special reception for the Friends of the Cape Cod National Seashore from 5:00 to 7:00 on Saturday, June 1 as a birthday gathering. No presents, no fee to attend, donations to the Friends welcome. “Living here, I am reminded daily of the gifts afforded by the Seashore. It is an honor to introduce people to the Friends.”

Guests will be treated to the song stylings of popular musician Sarah Burrill, libations, and nibbles catered by Mary’s Fine Provisions. Jonathan McPhillips demonstrate painting, creating a Seashore scene, at 4 pm.

The evening will be an opportunity of the public to meet Board members as well as some of the region’s most sought-after artists.

To save our limited parking for those needing assistance, please park off property beyond our abutters. Thank you for being caring. We hope you can join us.

In 1961, President John F. Kennedy signed legislation that established the Cape Cod National Seashore. 44,000 acres that include the untamed shoreline of the Atlantic Coast, along with dunes that yield to heathland, marshes, woods and ponds, were designated as a national park for public use. With histories tied to the sea, Chatham, Orleans, Eastham, Wellfleet, Truro, and Provincetown lie within the Seashore. The inclusion of these towns was a departure from the typical National Park model that previously created Parks from publicly owned or donated land.
