Hold the applause for the Thursday Concert Series

Weekly Thursday Concerts on hiatus due to lack of funding

The free Thursday afternoon concerts at Pierce College have been stalled due to the Associated Student Organization’s agreement to postpone the financial requests and funds needed to continue them.

The concerts, organized by music professor James Bergman, had been funded by the ASO for years. However, the ASO “tabled the financial request” at their last financial meeting Thursday, Feb. 19.

The ASO’s treasurer, 23-yearold Michael McGee, apologized for not responding sooner to Bergman’s request.

“It has been a hectic week, so we did not get to contacting them yet. We are in support of it. We have aside money for the concerts just like we have done all the years before hand,” McGee said.
