Final Concert Scholarship Award Aug. 30

Thanks for a great season, Friends.  Your generosity has allowed us to award not one but two scholarships and we are so please to pass the good wishes on to two excellent musicians who have already distinguished themselves as genuine members of community.  They understand that "Together We All Do Better."

This week we're featuring four of the area's most accomplished pianists and they're playing together: "That's Eight Hands on Two Pianos" at Zion Lutheran Church, Tuesday, Aug. 30 at noon.  As always a church luncheon is available at $6.00.  The concert itself is free.

Planning is underway for the Fifteenth Series and we have some new surprises for you.  Mum's the word though until everything is finalized in early spring.  If there are musicians or groups you've been longing to hear, please contact one of the members of the committee and we'll add them to the list.

This time I'm listing members in order of their years of service and hoping I don't goof:  Cherry Tinquist, Carol Morrill, Kathy Goodwin, Cathy Shields, Darcy Reich, Eileen Grosland, Irene Eckert, Karen Karls, Lenora Evans, Louise Koglin-Fideldy, Allison Scally.  Every member of the committee performs a valuable service and it is through each member's commitment that the series pulls together each year.

And without all the committed people behind the scenes at the participating churches, we could not begin to contact the wonderful, generous performers who pull us together with their music.  By late September committee members have begun inquires.  By December performers have informed us of their availability, and by January churches have confirmed their interest in sponsoring concerts. So time is short if you'd like to participate in any way.  We regret that we can not accommodate every performer or request, but each year we try to bring you the best.

Have a wonderful year.

Carol
