Will Hold Concerts Thursday Evenings this Summer
The Commercial Club met Monday at the Corner Cupboard for a fish dinner with about twenty members present. They moved to the town hall for a business session focused on summer band concerts. Supt. T C Ressler said funds may come from the band levy later, enough to pay the leader but likely not for weekly player treats. The club voted to cover treats and prefer concerts on Thursday evenings rather than Saturdays, with details left to Ressler. No report on the spring salvage drive. once roads settle, a drive will be arranged.
