SUMMARY:Check out Natick Center Concert Hall in Clark's Block building
DESCRIPTION:A group seeking to restore the beautiful but unused Concert Hall on the third floor of Natick’s downtown Clark’s Block building is opening the space on March 22 for self-guided public tours for the first time in decades. The event is technically free\, but is designed to encourage people to contribute to a $29\,000 fundraising effort to conduct a feasibility study for restoring a pace that was once the heart of Natick’s social scene. \nConcert Hall\, located on the 3rd floor of the Clark’s Block building\, was once the heart of the Natick social scene and hosted galas\, dances\, concerts\, plays\, exhibitions\, lectures and other special events from 1874 to the 1930s. Over the last 85 years\, this town treasure has sat unused for its intended purpose and abandoned as a hauntingly beautiful ruin. Now\, the Friends of Concert Hall group is seeking to restore this 150 year old forgotten space and resurrect what has been lost. \nDue to the current condition of the space\, only adults 18+ may attend this event. To attend\, enter the Clark’s Block building at the Main Street entrance between Optica and Orange Theory. Follow the signs to take the stairs to Concert Hall on the 3rd floor. Elevators are available upon request. \nFor questions about this event or how to make a donation\, please email: friendsofconcerthall@gmail.com \n\nNatick Report hasn’t quite been around for 150 years\, but with your support we can keep it going. Please contribute what you can or consider becoming an advertising partner.

SUMMARY:10\,000 Maniacs to perform at TCAN fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:TCAN’s annual fundraiser event features the band 10\,000 Maniacs on Saturday\, Oct. 26 at 7:30pm. The member presale begins on Sept 4\, with tickets to the public on sale Sept. 6 at 1pm. Tickets cost $200 apiece. \nProceeds from the Annual Benefit support TCAN’s nonprofit mission to present artistic programming and community outreach initiatives throughout the year. \nIf you haven’t kept up with 10\,000 Maniacs since the band started in 1981\, they haven’t been led by Natalie Merchant since the early 1990s. They’ve carried on with vocalist Mary Ramsey (we saw them perform years ago at The Verve in Natick and they were good). \nTCAN is seeking sponsors for the program. Contact Nicola Anderson at nicola@tcan.org for more on that. \nPatrons of the event purchasing single tickets receive reserved seating for the concert\, and a commemorative gift. A portion of each ticket is fully tax-deductible. \n\nPlease send news tips\, photos\, ideas to natickreport@gmail.com
