Harry Cross enjoyed the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra Concert, and in an educational moment shared the family history of our 10th President John Tyler.
Larry Dittmar journeyed up north to hear some outstanding mu-sical students and reported that he saw snow but no pot holes.
Fred Sanchez was happy for U-M’s buzzer beating basketball bucket, for working for the Pulte family, and had an unhappy dollar for MSU’s many missed BB opportunities.
Kathy Wilder enjoyed for a great Graham Nash concert at the Ark.
Alan Burg was happy for his and Ken Hillenburg’s 35th anni-versary.
Finally William Hampton contributed for the circle (and cycle) of life as on the same day he attended a funeral for a 104 year old and a celebration for a new baby.

Members and Volunteers: Information is needed from volunteers on their avail-ability for the Thrift Sale. Please bring your calendars to the meeting on Monday for scheduling volunteers from April through June. Bob Gray and one or two others will be available before and after the meeting on Monday to collect availa-ble information on available dates and to provide help signing up with Signup Genius. Bob will have extra copies of two documents with the dates on which volunteers are needed for the Thrift Sale on Friday and Saturdays—and for the Monday through Saturday work by sorters, testing/repair, pricing, and shelf stocking behind the scenes on important aspects of the sale.
FINES...
President William Hampton took an ex-tra minute to get everyone’s attention to start our meeting, so all those chatting at the time were fined. A motion to fine all women members somehow because of William Hampton or Dale Leslie was defeated because of the acute hearing of Past President Clarence Dukes who was ruling on the fine motion.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES...
Musical Events Chair Larry Dittmar recommended the U-M Women’s Glee Club concert this Saturday, March 24th at 8:00 pm at Hill Auditori-um. Tickets are priced at $15. Jo-hann Sebastian Bach will be shortly celebrating yet another birthday.
The Ypsilanti Kiwanis Club’s annual pancake breakfast will be held at the Ypsilanti Methodist Church on Satur-day, April 14th from 7:30 am until 1:00 pm. $8 for adults and $4 for kids.
Fred Sanchez said it’s time to think spring and baseball. The annual Tiger trip is Saturday, August 11th against Minne-sota. The cost is only $70 including, game, bus ride, lunch. Fred guarantees a Cracker Jack time.
INTERCLUBS...
Larry Dittmar—at AA Western Kiwanis, Tuesday, March 20th, at Quarter Bistro, telling about his 15 trips to Kenya in the African continent to establish a band with native villagers from 5-40 years of age. Great progress. Other club members in attend-ance: Dick Benedek, Dale Leslie, Joe Medrano, Jim Meretta, Luke Panning, Charlie Phibbs, and Chris Winkler.

CENTENNIAL MEMORY GEM... Club member Paul Klinger cor-netist, front row, second from right, is a fixture in live big band and jazz performances in Ann Arbor. He joined the KOAA over 50 years ago (1966) and served on the board of directors and as chief maestro of our social events. The seven-member Easy Street Jazz Band (named after the street where Paul lives) was founded by Paul in 1970. You might say, "They make good mu-sic together!"
