	about MOLLY In the Fall of 2005 Molly Finn began working with Friends of Ballard Park to develop a Youth Board with Rogers High School students. A recent high school graduate who grew up in Newport, Molly was well known and connected at the high school. The students decided the first event they wanted to organize would be a Battle of the Bands featuring youth bands of various musical genres. Molly was particularly enthused about the event and recruited several of her musician friends to enter their bands. Sadly, in June 2006 the Free Spirit, a boat Molly was aboard as part of a transatlantic voyage, was lost at sea. Her young friends requested Friends of Ballard Park host Battle of the Bands in Molly’s memory and volunteered to help organize the event which will be open to area musicians young and young at heart. The event is scheduled for July 28, Molly’s twenty first birthday. Molly had eclectic tastes as well as friends young and old. We hope this event captures her spirit. Proceeds from the event will fund the Ballard Park Youth Board.... aka the “Ballard Bojangles”. For more information call 619.3377. FREE
