The house, which originally

I was too slow as then delivered

and the first post office in Wake

house.
A small but enthusiastic group
attended an organizational meet

The group began practice that
night, but regular practice will be
held each Sunday morning at 8:45
at the Church.
The choir will sing this Sunday
and anyone interested in joining
the choir, even it is just for the
summer, is urged to attend prac
