Old Business

Dana Schmersahl reported that J. Wallace James School was not awarded the grant by Lafayette Junior League but that Junior League did recommend a private donor who will give the school $5,000. She explained all of the procedures of how the students and parents were interviewed and selected to receive the string instruments which we purchased and how much it meant to the school.

Larry Erny reported that the parent of Jon Mouton who was on the approved list to receive a leased instrument did come in and sign the lease agreement on 11-8-04 for a trombone and that Shining Light’s portion of 3/4 of this instrument is $120. He further advised that Cullen J. Zeno’s parent had returned the violin to him since she had also gotten a violin from Lafayette Music and that our account will be credited $82.50.
