Happy Dollars:
Peter F. (after borrowing $$ from Lucy) offered happy dollars to recognize Lucy's achievement in reviving the Silver Sage, and for his winning a 1st place medal and a shirt in last year's Senior Olympics Bowling Tournament. However, he doesn't know how many others were in his age bracket!

Upcoming:
On April 15, 2022, at 6 p.m., there will be a Piano Concert by the five members of the Piano Club, at Light Hall at WNMU. There are 191 seats available. A sample program for the event was circulated for review.
Jim C. said that because of the Good Friday holiday, he was originally told that no workers would be available to set up Light Hall, but that problem has been solved, and the University has agreed to hire workers for this special event.
