PENNY AWARD

In the fall of 1978 the Actorsingers Board of Directors passed a resolution
calling for an award to be presented to an individual who, over the years,
has displayed a steadfast and unselfish devotion to the growth and development
of the Actorsingers as a theatrical organization. It is called the Penny Award
in honor of Margaret “Penny” Tamulonis who exemplified these qualities and was
the first recipient of this award.

This year we are pleased to present the Penny Award to Dan Pelletier “for his
constant commitment to the organization.”

[Program insert]

We wish to acknowledge with deep appreciation the special help we receive
from the LAKE STREET MILL, 51 Lake Street, Nashua. Mr. Rocky LaPierre,
President, has graciously and most generously donated space to THE ACTORSINGERS
for storage of our properties. Thank you so much, Mr. LaPierre!!

The following people were inadvertently omitted from the cast listing in our
program for our production of “Carnival”: Gloria Smith, who is a member of
the chorus and appears as a volunteer from the audience, and also Elaine
Pelletier, who is a member of the chorus. We apologize for the error.
