The Piano Fund...

We have our piano!  Thanks to generous friends of the MJC, there is now a wonderful grand piano for the exclusive use of the great pianists who play at MJC Rent Parties at the Open Stage Club.  Everyone who attends a Rent Party will be asked to donate $1 to the piano fund to assure that the piano is always perfectly-tuned.
