During this interval we

Our five instructors have
been working on a weekly ba-

The whole program has
been progressing satisfactor-

performed at the social af-
fairs of each of our Lodges,
have appeared before Parent
Teacher Groups and at public
socials sponsored by our
Joint Committee.
We now have an oppor-
tunity to appear on a tele-

T is worthwhile project

Our financial needs have
always pressed our resources.
We are currently working to
raise additional funds for
more urgently needed instru-
ments and costumes.
This we need in order
that we might make a most
favorable appearance ON
our scheduled television
program, which will be car
ried throughout the whole
northern Minnesota area.
We are certain that such a
program will further adver-
tise our organization and
bring additional members in
to our fold.
We are also currently be-
ing pressed by a sufficient
number of our female Junior
members to start an all-girls
Tamburitza Orchestra, but
we lack enough instruments.
With this we bring to close
