Bulletin Happenings

Editor Bob Wilber, writing in the Overland Park, Kansas, Overland Stage Company Line, reports a chapter "Uncontest" made up of 12 quartets. Wilber reports, "The entire membership of the chapter was broken down into extemporaneous quartets several weeks earlier. Every member was contacted for participation. Then, quartets were formed 'on the luck of the draw.'" Judges were recruited from neighboring Kansas City, Missouri, Chapter. Since it was an "Uncontest," there were no singing prizes. However, the judges awarded men for things, such as "Most Unique Attire" and "Quartet With Best Behavior, Neatness and Haircut."

Melodyline Editor Paul Sheppard, Brockvillle Ontario, Chapter, had an excellent article and photographs showing and telling of the chapter's presentation of $500 to the Brockville General Hospital. The money helped purchase a computer "touch screen" for use in the Speech and Language Services Department. One of the photos showed a youngster, Shannon Steenwyk, using the screen under the guidance of Speech Pathologist Jean Chamberlain. She reported, "I believe that speech therapy is a wonderful thing. It has helped Shannon so much; she has been learning new words and how to speak in sentences."
