The fourth annual Music and Meatballs is coming to Westminster College Friday, Oct. 1, at the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church. Sittings are at 4:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
"This year it's called 'Music and Meatballs IV: Down Under' because the choir is traveling to Florida for their annual choir tour, and funds raised from this event will help to defray costs of the trip," said Dr. Robin Lind, director of choral activities at Westminster College. "Members of the choir put on this delicious, fun-filled and musical dinner from advertising and decorating the hall to buying, cooking and serving the spaghetti supper. Each sitting concludes with a 30-minute musical presentation by members of the choir led by Tom Oyer." (Oyer is a senior sociology major from Dalton, Ohio.)
Adult tickets are $10, and senior citizen and student tickets are $6. Reservations can be made with any choir member or by calling the Westminster College Music Office at (724) 946-7270. Tickets will also be available at the door.
"Come and enjoy a homemade Italian dinner before the Celebrity Series performance of "The Ten Tenors," Lind said.

Three Westminster College Student Present Senior Art Exhibit
Three Westminster College seniors, Traci Campbell, Merrianne McGill, and Meghan Michielsen are displaying art projects through May 14 at the Westminster College Art Gallery, which is open Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday, noon-6 p.m.
Campbell, a fine art major, is a daughter of Connie Gramm, Orlando, Fla., and a graduate of Mercer High School. "The media I used was digital photography, and my theme is Home Harvest,'" Campbell said. "I have a series of larger black and white photographs that I took and developed that represent the farm where I live. I also have a collection of 19 small color and black and white photographs that also represent the farm and the life that it holds."
McGill, a fine art and public relations major and a six-year employee of Westminster, resides in Volant with her husband, Jon, and their two daughters. "During my 3-D sculpture class, I fell in love with sculpting the human head in clay," McGill said. "I found the process both relaxing and a spiritual journey. My show is a mini tour' of the Westminster campus , one that represents the people of the College. The busts symbolize just a few of the many departments on campus and the people who work behind the scenes to guide Westminster's students through their college careers. The clay represents Westminster's strong foundation, one of strength and substance."
Michielsen, an art major, is a daughter of Neil and Dara Michielsen, Vernon, N.J., and a graduate of Vernon Township High School. "My exhibit consists of character model sheets and story boards that allow an easier time animating," Michielsen said. "The story board tells the story while, the character model sheets show the dimensions of the character that gives an animator more information. I have loved telling stories ever since I was little, and bringing the story to life has always been my dream. With my characters I am able to touch the hearts of people. I guess this impact is what drives me to create my characters and give them life to share with the rest of the world."
