Prevailing Winds concert a great success
 Photo by Lucy Williams
The Trinity Chamber Series got off to a fantastic start on March 9 with a performance by the Prevailing Winds woodwind quintet. The concert saw a great turnout from the community and raised $1,053 for the children's summer music camp at Trinity Lutheran Church.
"The performance was exquisite and the quintet made the audience feel comfortable and involved," said Lucy Williams, the concert organizer. "I can't remember a concert where we've had more fun."
The church is still accepting donations to the children's summer music camp. For more information, call 945-7105.
