As Juneau it will re- member, Schapiro played here early in October, sponsored by the Busi-| ness and Professional Women's Club, and later changed his sched- | ule so he could play a return en- gagement for the piano fund. More than $1,000 poured in for requested encores, the entire con- cert putting some $1,500 in the bank toward the new piano. Fletcher, whose friendship- with Schapiro dates from the pianist's first ago, wrote that Pierre Monteux, conductor Symphony Orchestra, is enthusias- tic about the project, and hopes to | locate a fine concert grand piano| for community enjoyment in Ju- neau. ! i GIRL SCOUT NEWS Girl Scout Troop No. 9 held theirl regular meeting last week at the[ home of Mrs. Zalmain Gross.
