Gift of music

7 years ago

The Presque Isle Congregational Church recently received the gift of a piano from one of its members, leaving its upright piano without a home. Wanting to “pay it forward,” the church donated the instrument to the Sargent Family Community Center.

Parker K. Bailey and Sons Inc. accomplished the move at no charge, donating their time to the cause. The piano now sits in the center’s senior room for all to enjoy. Present on moving day are, from left, David Griffiths, church trustee; Chris Beaulieu, Presque Isle Parks and Recreation director; Blake Bailey and Jeffrey Monson of Parker K. Bailey; Rev. Tim Stohlberg of the PIUCC; and Mark Bailey and Spencer Deschene of the moving company.
