Monday Musicale has met since 1968. Gatherings raise funds for scholarships to pursue advanced studies in music. This year, the group donated about $6,000.

It also sponsors concerts at which professional musicians share their talents as gifts for Monday Musicale Scholarship winners. Auditions are held each spring for instrumentalists and vocalists from Port Angeles and

Sequim high schools.

The group meets monthly at Queen of Angels Church,

109 W. 11th St., Port Angeles.
