They meet monthly to discuss money rais- ing projects such as bake sales, sandwich sales, and their annual bourbon ball sale on Valentine's Day. This money is then used to rehabilitate music both here and abroad, such as helping foreign groups purchase music or phonographs. Part of this money also is given to music therapy. -lf iff , . -V ffl. P lift? 32- T if tk 2 it .fi w X 9 be I gait- E ini. Q x 3 5? as fi ' ff:-95,1
