Mohamed Abozekry has that rare gift of combining limitless virtuosity with an unbridled imagination. An oud master while still in his mid-20s, Abozerky's ambitions to musically interpret the world around him and "de-exoticize" his instrument mark him as a polymath of forms. With Karkade, Abozekry evokes the hibiscus tea found everywhere in Cairo, and the eponymous French cafe at which this project was born. He mixes Egypt's popular and classical music traditions, the Sufi calls and secular poetry to musically describe a path to an Arab world at peace with its history and turned towards the future.

We're inviting the community to picnic in Soldiers Memorial Park on the river again this season. Feel free to pack your own picnic basket, bring take-out from somewhere down Market (or wherever), or partake of the tasty offerings of our community chefs. Always good to BYO blanket and/or chair. Fun for the whole family.

In the event of uncooperative weather, meals will be available for take-out.

If you get dinner at the park, it's on a "pay-what-you-will" basis.
No one will be turned away (until we run out of food). Recommended donations: $5 for kids and $7 for adults. The concept is that if you can afford more, you pay more, and if you can't afford that much, you pay less. Please be generous!

Donations support the River Town Team events and projects.

Making New Materials to Detect, Target & Treat Disease

Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bucknell University
Vogel will discuss his research group’s efforts to develop new materials and devices to help detect, target and treat disease. His team is using chemistry to develop new plastics that slowly break down in the body. These plastics can be processed into controlled drug delivery devices by combining plastic and a drug to generate small particles through a process called impingement jets mixing. These particles need to be in the size range of 80 to 100 nanometers in diameter. Particle size and shape are both important.

All Tea and Talk programs begin at 3:30 pm, doors open at 3:00 pm. Light refreshment is served courtesy of Buffalo Valley Lutheran Village, Village Common 6 Tressler Blvd. Lewisburg, PA 17837 where the programs are held. There is no charge for this program.

Known for their borgeous harmonies, infectious songwriting and captivating stage presence, Red Molly (Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Molly Venter) weaves together the threads of American music -- from folk to bluegrass, from heartbreaking ballads to barn-burning honky-tonk -- as effortlessly as they blend their caramel voices into their signature crystalline, three-part harmonies. Their brilliantly wrong a cappella tunes are love letters to the art of the vocal blend, and foot-stomping, bluegrass-tinged barn burners and heartfelt ballads alike.
