Publicity

Gord advised the event has been advertised on FAB 94.3 Radio and Vivien sent posters to each school in the River East Transcona School Division.
Musical Revue
Ron is concerned about the low registration and asked when we should determine whether the second performance should still be scheduled. It was decided that we should wait until June 20th or 21st and see what the numbers are like. If necessary, current students will be invited to attend, free of charge, to fill up the Theatre.
Scholarship Table
