Message from the Dean |
| From the Dean-
This is my first opportunity to greet you as the new Dean of the Tulsa Chapter, so I begin with a word of thanks for the honor of serving the Chapter. Iwill do my best to further the AGO mission. I also want to thank Karen Rich, past Dean, for her service to the Chapter and for being very helpful to me during the transition. I also thank the slate of new officers for their willingness to serve. And most of all, thanks to the Program Committee, including Mike McCrary, Mike Bedford, Vicki Smith, and Bruce Wilkin, and chaired by new Sub-Dean, Susan Panciera. We have had many meetings and the committee's efforts have produced a slate of programs that we think will offer something for everyone this year. One of our first efforts was a telephone outreach to many members who have been unable to be active at Chapter events in recent years. If you find yourself in that category, we hope that you will renew your commitment to the AGO and its mission, and make your best effort to attend meetings and programs. We all have something to offer the Chapter, and one of the best benefits of AGO membership is the opportunity to share some fellowship time with our colleagues. I look forward to welcoming you to my home for a party on Tuesday, September 7. Sincerely, Ron Pearson PARTY!! Tuesday, September 7 at 6:30pm at the home of Ron and Joanne Pearson 3151 E 21st Place (one block west of Harvard, one block south of 21st Street) Cost is only $10.00, and reservations are needed by Friday, September 3.

| Dear Tulsa Chapter,
Thank you for your financial support of our POE! Your generous gift of $150.00 made it easier for the POE staff to effectively implement the program The 24 students were all very enthusiastic during the entire week of activities. We had them eating breakfast at 8am and lights were out in the dorms at 11pm. No time for naps during the day! We kept them busy with individual organ lessons with their teachers, had them attend workshops on specialized topics, took them on an organ factory tour, had them check out and play the largest organ in Texas, presented four organ concerts for them, kept them busy practicing their lessons, did an organ crawl through the chambers of a 4-manual pipe organ, had them play a student recital, and even squeezed in a visit to the Kimbell and Amon Carter art museums. Itfs encouraging to note that the AGO had a Pipe Organ Encounter in seven AGO regions in the US, and that every POE was fully booked. Thatfs about 230 young piano students who were introduced to the organ, many who are now so turned on to the organ that they will pursue serious organ study. Without help from donors like you, these projects wouldnft get off the ground. You can see a POE diary and photos on the Chapter website www.fwago.org. Students and their parents have been exceptionally complimentary about the experience. We feel very good about the success of the project and know that we made a positive contribution to these studentsf musical lives. Thank you so much for helping make this project such a success! Ed Ackermann, Ft Worth POE Treasurer Dr. H. Joseph Butler, Ft Worth POE Director |
