Even if there have been no changes since last year, we do need a form filled out for each member. The dues schedule is as follows: Regular Voting Member $ 92 Special Voting Member $ 67 (over 65 or disabled) Student Voting Member $ 37 (full-time with valid ID) Partner Voting Member $ 67 (1 TAO per household) Dual Voting Member $ 36 (1 TAO per household) Chapter Friend (non-voting) $ 35 (No TAO subscription) NUNC DIMITTIS William Becknell, director of music ministries at Christ Our King Catholic Church in Mt. Pleasant, passed away Thursday, July 15th after a short illness. He was a member of the Charleston Chapter AGO for several years, and also actively involved in Charleston Renaissance Ensemble. His service will be Friday, July 23rd, 10:00 a.m., at Christ Our King. For remembrances and condolences to the family, please visit his CaringBridge website: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/billbecknell IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE AGO NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS: In an effort to increase the value of the benefits package for AGO voting members, access to the Positions Available listings on the AGO National Web site has been limited exclusively to AGO voting members as of Monday, December 15. It is appropriate that these listings should be made available only to voting members, since members’ dues pay for the operation of the Guild’s Web site and maintenance of its job postings board. In addition, this new limitation will ensure that only those organists who have agreed to abide by the AGO’s Code of Ethics and Code of Professional Standards will have access to the jobs advertised on the AGO’s Web site. IMPORTANT MEMBER LOGIN INFORMATION When you go to view the details of a Position Available online, you will be asked to fill in a User Name and Password. Your User Name and Password will be your unique AGO identification number. This number is located above your name on the address label that appears on your copy of TAO each month. When prompted to fill in the User Name and Password fields, please enter your ID number in both fields to gain access to the details of all job openings. This login procedure may be further refined and enhanced in the weeks ahead. We look forward to providing this valuable benefit exclusively to AGO voting members. The Guild is widely recognized by religious institutions as the world’s largest and most prestigious association for professional organists, and this new policy will help us to preserve and protect our well-deserved reputation for excellence. If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to contact AGO Headquarters during business hours at 212-870-2310 or e-mail us at members@agohq.org. Shopping for American Guild of Organists gifts is easy. All merchandise can be ordered online at www.agohq.org/store or by phoning AGO store manager Harold Calhoun, 212-870-2311 (ext. 4318) or 800-AGO-5115. Additionally, orders can be placed via postal mail using the order form found on page 9 of each issue of The American Organist Magazine.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PROFESSIONAL CONCERNS CORNER by Porter Remington What is a Professional Concern? Anything you have a thought or feeling about will lead you to an answer, or maybe a question! Money - Salary - Budgets - Relationships - How to work with a committee - How to motivate people - How to ask for what you need - How to take care of yourself. What else can you think of? If we do not address these issues, then we are not educating our congregations about music as a profession. Anyone who plays a funeral for free is hurting our profession. Anyone who does not charge an appropriate wedding fee is hurting our profession. Meanwhile the funeral directors, florists, caterers, piano tuners and photographers — are all raising their fees. We are being left behind. Do not ever be afraid to approach your clergy/music committee/personnel committee with the idea of making fees appropriate for 2009. It is YOUR responsibility!
