The WMS Choir is hosting a fundraiser TODAY at Pie-Tanza — located in the Lee-Harrison Shopping Center — from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m.  Just tell them you’re there for the WMS choir and 15-percent of the cost of your meal will be donated to the music program.  It’s good for dine-in or take-out.  Again, eat at Pie-Tanza today, support the WMS Choir, and Be a Part of the Wolf Pack Pride!
