Allamakee Music Boosters holding "Buy a Key" campaign

The Allamakee Music Boosters have kicked off a "Buy a Key" campaign to help finance the purchase of a new piano for musical performances and preparation within the Allamakee Community School District. The new piano would be used for such purposes as Choir classroom rehearsal at the Junior High and High School in Waukon, Junior High Band Solo Contest performances, Pre-Contest Solo Night for the High School Band and Choir, East Elementary School concerts, the high school musical, and other auditorium concerts or performances where a piano is on the floor.
The current piano used for such purposes was purchased more than 20 years ago, in 1991, and is no longer holding its tune. It has been recommended by the school district's piano tuner that a new piano be purchased.
The "Buy a Key" campaign is looking for 88 community members (the same as the number of keys on a piano) to make a $60 donation to help fund the piano purchase. As of the middle of January, approximately 17 keys have already been "purchased" through the campaign.
A sign will be hung on the new piano with the names of all those who contributed to the "Buy a Key" campaign. Those making a contribution in memory/honor of someone else are asked to specify who that individual is.
Those who would like to contribute are invited to send a $60 check made payable to Allamakee Music Boosters to the following address:
