Our monthly adult get-togethers at the Frazier Fieldhouse adjacent to Dan Marino Field on Frazier St.  Any volunteers, donations of food or beverages, or even lending of movies is encouraged and welcome.

The Kids nights are going to be suspended for the summer, resuming in September.

Saturday August 30th is the adult get-together from 7pm-10pm.

Some entertainment is possible, but this event is more of an eat, meet and greet, maybe some card games so that neighbors can introduce themselves and discuss topics of interest and ideas for future events like like music, movies, games, etc.

This event is for ages 21 and older.

Due to the size of the building and limited people to run the event, we are limiting the number of adults to 30, so signing up beforehand is recommended.  Please include your name, address and contact number.

Donations of a covered dish, hors d’oeuvres, snacks and beverages are requested and welcome, but not mandatory.

Anyone that would like to share some of their favorite beer or wine for their neighbors to try is also welcome.  To avoid this becoming a “bar” night, we ask that you limit to one or two drinks total per person.

We reserve the right to ask anyone who is disruptive at any event to leave.

Please RSVP via SONG contact page, call or text SONG Phone#, or talk to Janet Sims in person.

Experience Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater as the sun sets over the ridges of the Laurel Highlands during the 19th Annual Twilight Tour and Concert on Saturday, Aug. 23.

The tour, concert and picnic dinner, sponsored by Huntington Bank, provides guests with an opportunity to experience the house, mingle with old and new friends and enjoy wine and hors d’oeuvres. Organizers invite guests to walk through the rooms of the house at their own pace as the changing light allows visitors to see Fallingwater from an entirely new perspective.
At twilight, a lantern-lit path will lead guests to a meadow, where they will enjoy live jazz by The David Bach Trio from Washington, D.C., while dining on a gourmet picnic dinner prepared by Fallingwater’s chef.  The David Bach Trio is featured on the internationally syndicated television show “Jazz Central.”

Tickets available online or by phone
$225 per person non-members
