During the meeting a letter was read from Maxim Shapiro, Alaska Music Trails originator, that he had available a grand piano which the local association could purchase for $1,800 plus crating, with $1,000 down and the balance in payments. However, since the local association has only $750 toward a piano so far and since no adequate storage space is immediately available it was decided to postpone purchase until the association's financial situation is improved. The public was reminded that any contributions toward the piano would be gratefully received.

Representatives from the various organizations making up the concert committee are Bruce Johnston, Elks; Doris Eastaugh, Emblem Club; Margaret Hall, St. Philip's Auxiliary; Marjory Sharnbroich, Ladies Aid; Leona Engdal and Dorothy Ottesen, P-TA; Alice Ellis and Verna Kaer, Pocahontas; Mrs. W.
