“Democrats wishing to honor Bristol’s Chris Hall as the recipient of the Lincoln County Democratic Committee’s Frances Perkins Award should make their reservations to attend the Saturday, May 4 reception in Round Pond by Friday, April 26,” said Geoff Bates, organizer of the event. 

The afternoon reception, to be hosted from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at a private home overlooking Round Pond, will also feature music by Boothbay singer-songwriter John Schinder, who has performed at the past two Frances Perkins Award Celebrations.

Schindler’s original approach to songwriting and performing has been recognized by performance spaces and the press across New England. The Amazing Things Art Center in Framingham, Massachusetts, wrote, “John’s songs ring with truth and power. On top of that, the man is a hoot!” SouthCoastToday.com commented, “John Schindler is a natural funnyman, yet has the ability to craft a song that tugs at the deepest personal emotions. With his resonant baritone voice and understated guitar parts, Mr. Schindler is able to command attention and bring a room to complete silence.” 

“We’re so very happy that John could find time to join us again for our Perkins Award Celebration,” said Bates. “I know he’s been writing and am looking forward to what he might debut with us this year.”

Reservations for the award reception start at $75. Host committee sponsorships and  opportunities to honor Chris through personal congratulatory messages are also available.
