Allentown Music Club names new officers

The Allentown Music Club recently had its last meeting of the season with the installation of new officers and the presentation of three scholarship winners.

Barbara Murray, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Music Clubs, installed the new officers.

They included: Bob Premecz, president; Michael Grather, vice president; Paula Evans, treasurer; Susan Smith, corresponding secretary; Jane Knotek and Jeanne Harakal, recording secretaries, and Dan Rambo, federation secretary.

The Past President's Assembly bestowed two $1,000 scholarships on Wayne Wei, pianist, and Melissa Bilza, soprano.

Both winners are seniors in high school who will be studying musical performance next year in college.

Faith Brown, a junior voice major at Moravian College, received $2,000 as the winner of the Martha Marcks Mack Scholarship for Young Vocal Artists.

All three winners performed a recital for the club.
