The season begins!

The day may have been gray, but the main chamber was warm. Rain fell softly outside while guests filled the space with music, stories, and laughter. People shared memories, joined conversations, and connected — small moments that made the afternoon beautiful.

Thank you to everyone who came, played, and stayed. Your presence turned the rain into something bright. See you at the next gathering.
