The sound o f music
It was a happy day for the Blyth senior groups when Town and Country Support workers and
the Blyth Legion presented them with a keyboard to add some music to their gatherings. When
the Blyth Legion was asked by Kathy Bromley of the advisory committee, right, to assist in the
purchase of a piano for the group, they instead decided to auction an old piano to raise funds.
The proceeds of $185 was used to purchase the keyboard. Shirley Wood, seniors chairperson
for the Blyth Legion, and Leah Davis, left, community support co-ordinator forTCSS, were on
hand Friday for the presentation .
