The singers were accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Virginia Karnitz. A lunch of cookies, cake and donuts was provided by the women; Mrs. Bryan served coffee.

Mrs. John Apfel, Mrs. Carl Opelt and Mrs. Ben Urlaub, all members of the Happy Hour Club, brought cookies to the home on April 2 Coffee and ice cream to complete the lunch were provided by Mrs. Bryan. Carl Opelt also was present and entertained residents by playing the piano; neighbors of the Bryans, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Dahnert and Mrs. Ellen Englund, were present, also, and assisted the others with an afternoon of traveling Bingo.
