Pianist Earl Wild has passed away at the age of 94. Many of our members will remember him through his connections here in Columbus.
Here’s a link to an excellent article from the New York Times:
Ohio has nominated an outstanding person to be a fellow for Ohio: Seymour Fink
To fulfill this nomination we must raise $1000 by January 31st. We have only raised $660.
If you were considering donating to the Foundation, this would be a good time. Your donation is tax deductible.
Thank you.
Carolyn Miller, MTNA Foundation
Webmaster notes: you may use the link below to make a quick donation. Be sure to write Seymour Fink in the memo line. Any amount will help and is appreciated! The Central East District Board has contributed $100, which will be added to the existing $660.
