MEETING: PROGRAM ON THE TRADITIONS OF HELAING MUSIC
The Brick Township Historical Society will hold a meeting June 13, 2023 at 7:30 pm at the Herbertsville Firehouse, 601 Herbertsville Rd., Brick. The featured speaker will be music practitioner Bonnie Leigh presenting a program called “The Traditions of Healing Music.” Historically many societies and cultures have used music to aid in relaxation and to help the sick. Leigh helps patients with her music.
This is a change of program for that date due to unforeseen circumstances.
Admission is free and open to the public. Parking is in the lot behind the firehouse. Please use the door on the right on ground level.
