Club member and Blues Alley Executive Director Harry Schnipper checked in last week to remind us that Blues Alley is back operating in their wonderful Georgetown location, and Club members are eligible for half-price admissions during the week between Sunday and Thursday. The discount can be accessed on the Blues Alley website using the code "NPC." This is a wonderful benefit of membership!
