From Life at Lyngblomsten, Summer 2003, page 12: "Over 280 guests enjoyed the 16th annual Spring Rhapsody, which raised almost $48,000 to help strengthen one of Lyngblomsten's four outreach programs, Parish Nurse Ministry. ... music filled the air as a pianist played soft music in one room and a string quartet entertained guests in an adjoining room. ... And we topped off the evening with music by the Roseville Big Band."
