Summer '07 Benefit Was A Success
The Owego Apalachin Summer Music Program Concert was held August 2, 2007, with the OA Music Boosters holding an ice cream social during the concert.

According to Dan Fabricius, OA director of bands, "The concert was a huge success. We had a good turnout, the bands played well and we had nice weather. The great news is that we collected $880 to contribute to the Quiles Family Fund.

This fund was recently established to collect money to help the Quiles family of Apalachin. The Quiles family had a very serious fire at their home earlier in the summer. Justin Quiles, an OFA sophomore who plays trumpet for the OFA jazz band, was hospitalized in Rochester to recover from fire injuries.
