The Meyersdale Area Merchants’ Association (MAMA) recently presented the Meyersdale Area High School Marching Band with a $500 check. The donation was accepted by Band Director Mrs. Katie Howard (second from left) and she said the funds will go towards the purchase of much-needed rain coats for the “Pride of the Tribe.” Howard is seen above with MAHS Principal John Wiltrout, and members of MAMA, Julie Kreger, President; Sharon Clapper and Michael Paulman.
