                      Supplement to the Current Prospectus



         During the period from March 1, 1996  through  April 30,  1996  (unless
extended by MFS Fund Distributors,  Inc. ("MFD")) (the "Sales Period"), MFD will
pay SunAmerica  Securities,  Inc. an additional commission equal to 1.00% of the
gross  commissionable  sales of all of the Class A and Class B shares (excluding
sales to  shareholders  of $1,000,000 or more) of each of the funds listed above
(the "Funds") made by such dealer to shareholders  purchasing such Funds through
MFS Individual  Retirement  Accounts (excluding  SEP-IRAs)  ("Eligible IRAs"). A
Letter of  Acceptance  with respect to the transfer of funds into such  Eligible
IRA must be received by MFS Service  Center,  Inc. (the  "Shareholder  Servicing
Agent")  during  the Sales  Period,  and the  Shareholder  Servicing  Agent must
receive the proceeds  representing  such  transfer by May 31, 1996, in order for
the dealer to receive the above-described commission.

         Although municipal bond funds, such as the various MFS single-state and
other  municipal  bond  funds  listed  above,  are  generally  available  as  an
investment  choice for an IRA,  they may not be suitable for inclusion in an IRA
due  to  their  tax-exempt  nature.  A  shareholder  should  consult  his or her
financial or tax adviser regarding any such investment.

                 The date of this Supplement is March 1, 1996.
