Today's entertainment celebrated the birthdays in the month of August.  President Lorraine sang the happy birthday song and then Leah Aronin followed with entertainment on Violin.  Before playing her violin she gave a short speech and talked about the possibility of starting a small violin ensemble consisting of about 15 members.  She envisioned a junior and senior category.  Instruments would have to purchased and the investment would be anywhere around 80.00 per violion. Classes would be around $40.00 to 45.00 The earliest students she actually envisioned were 8 years olds.  She shared that she started playing the violin at the tender age of 5.
