The concert to benefit the Salvation Army Summer Youth Program was an example of inter-agency cooperation and relationship building. Tyler Corps Commander Capt. John Falin also said he was pleased with the 150-person turnout and that he'd received numerous phone calls offering support and requests to volunteer.

The concert kicked off Salvation Army Week observed nationally and featured Rabbi Neal Katz of People Attempting To Help (PATH), The Del Alma Classical Guitar Duet and Bongo and the Point, performing the rock opera, "The Selfish Giant," taken from a story by Oscar Wilde. Donations are still being accepted for the Salvation Army's Summer Youth Program. To donate, call 903-592-4361 and ask for Cindy Bell.

“Bongo and the Point,” Dee Patton (left), Bree Patton, Elfin Morgan and Jim Patton perform the rock opera, “The Selfish Giant” last week. Several hats, such as this one worn by Jim Patton, indicated the nine characters voiced in the opera that took the Pattons three years to write and produce.
