Class Updates February 2nd
Ellie went over the Dates to Remember as shown above and on the Keyboard World Classroom. She circulated the sign up book around the room and called attention to the new sign up sheet for the March 19th gig at Willow Creek. She also reminded everyone about the Spring Quarterly—please be sure to sign up for this and to pay Rosie $10 person for the meal. Everyone was invited to attend the Executive Committee Meeting at Oscar’s after class today.
Betty explained about the planned entertainment for the Spring Quarterly and requested people to bring Ellie two pictures of one or both of their parents—one showing them as youngsters, the other one showing them as older. The aim of this activity is for Notables and guests to study the pictures and name the Notable offspring if they can! Please bring the pictures to Ellie ASAP because they have to be scanned into the computer, printed and arranged on a display board for March 23rd. Hope many of you will participate in this activity!
Class Updates, January 26th
Ellie reviewed the Dates to Remember as shown above these Updates and on the white board in the Keyboard World Classroom. She passed the sign up book around the classroom and announced that the sign up sheet for Willow Creek will be in the book next week. Sara Spriggs’ book was returned by Shirley and Harold Hoopengarner and received by Rosellen Morgan.
Then Ellie played a professional recording of The William Tell Overture, Claire de Lune, and Nocturne (Chopin). Later in the class, she also played The Skater’s Waltz played by Mervin Kauten, a former student who is now deceased. Betty Twigg assisted with the operation of the CD player. Thanks, Betty!

The Frostburg Nursing & Rehab Center (formerly St. Vincent’s) has asked us to come entertain their residents on February 12 for their Valentine’s Day Party; they also asked if we would be willing to commit to coming there once every month. The Festival Organ that they have will be available for our gig on February 12th.
