The business meeting was concluded and the program was presented by Maurine Roberts. She is an accomplished pianist and she entertained the group with lovely works of music from Chopin, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven. She played some popular songs, such as Autumn Leaves and Here's That Rainy Day. The members enjoyed some church hymns such as Amazing Grace and Shine On Us. She ended with Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copland. It was an amazing afternoon with an amazing talent. The group feels lucky to have her in the Questers' group.

The afternoon was completed with refreshments provided by Jane Fehr. It was all in all a wonderful day.
