“Community Concerts- a Car
negie Hall in Every’ Town” will
be the slogan for the Week of
May 14th through May 19th,
when the Community Concert
Association conducts its annual
renewal campaign for the next
musical session which begins in
the fall.
General Chairman, Annette
Bigler, will be aided this year
by Miss Elizabeth Scone, New
York^ representative for Com
munity Concerts, who will be on
hand all during the drive week,

set up the schedule chosen by
the board of directors and the
w’orkers following the end of the
campaign.
Headquarters will be at the
Hotel Surf in Crescent City,

cert campaign, will be held on
Monday evening, May 14th, at
7:00 pm. (Daylight Saving
Time) at the Pine Grove multi
purpose room, the Pine Grove
PTA serving a turkey dinner.
Board members and workers are
guests of the association at this
annual dinner. At this time, Miss
Score will announce which a rt
