THE COMMUNITY CHORUS

December 8 and 9, the Elizabethtown
Community Chorus of sevemty mixed
voices will be heard in their
concert, singing Part One of Mendl-

exceptional opportunity to hear an
outstanding example of sacred music
in its highest form.
Music loving people of Mount Joy
will be interested in these concerts
especially since several of the local
singers are members of the Chorus.
