President: Mrs. Mary Mintz, 5619 Evergreen
Street, Midland, Michigan 48640.
Our chapter's first Harp Society meeting
was held February 23, 1969 at the home
of Mrs. Mary Mintz. Since the organizer
of our chapter, Mrs. Marion Rosenson, recently
died, we discussed, as a memorial, to
raise money to pay for a new harp which
she had purchased soon before her death.
We would then present it to the Saginaw
Symphony.
A small business meeting was held and
we agreed upon the fees for membership
in the local chapter. We officially changed
our name to the Saginaw Valley Chapter
to encompass a larger area.
Entertainment was provided by Miss
Sarah Noble and Miss Anita Stark, both
playing solos by Naderman. Refreshments
were served by the hostess. The next meeting
was set for May 18, 1969.
