THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Scott Weiss, Director of KU Bands and his wife Teah Weiss, Development Director, School of Fine Arts & Lied Center, spoke to the TJC members at our November 3^rd meeting.  First they thanked us for our support and gave us an update on the band.  Currently they have 251 members.  This is a 41% increase over last year.  Scott’s objective is to have 280 marching members on the field.  The board authorized a $1,500 donation.

WHO ME!

Please be gentle.  This is my first attempt in writing the news letter.  From time to time you are going to notice bad punctuation, wrong syntax, phrasing that is laughable (intended and Unintended) but all done with a sense to inform.  While it is true I have a double Major from KU, nowhere on the diploma do the words English Major (or Minor) appear.  I am eager to provide you with needed news and to receive feedback.  My e-mail is gkensinger@cox.net
