Announcements
GRAND PIANO – We have been the recipients of a very generous donation of a grand piano. Although the piano was donated we did have to pay to have it moved ($645) and will also be needing to have it tuned (up to $350) after it sits for a week or so. Any donations to help cover these expenses are greatly appreciated. Mark donation: PIANO, Thanks.
