The Westminster College fifth annual Music and Meatballs returns Friday, Oct. 7, at the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church.  Sittings are at  5, 6 and 7 p.m.

 "This year's theme is 'New York Jazz Club' and features a spaghetti dinner with homemade Italian sausage and a scrumptious dessert," said Dr. Robin Lind, director of choral activities at Westminster College.  "Members of the choir will provide Jazz and Broadway selections with Jeff Wachtner, an exceptional jazz pianist and member of the Westminster music faculty."

 Choir members organize the event including the decorating, cooking, serving, and concluding with a 30-minute musical presentation.  Profits help support their Northeast Choir Tour to perform in Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Morristown, N.J., Wilmington, Del., and Baltimore.

 "We are very grateful to the New Wilmington Presbyterian Church for providing us with the facility for this annual fundraiser," Lind said.  "We are also grateful to Beth Brooks of the Student Affairs Office, who heads up the dish washing detail every year."

Adult tickets are $10, and senior citizen, children and student tickets are $5.  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.
