Message from the Dean

Finally! I have the September newsletter on-line for you to view. Our first meeting of the year is on Monday, September 8, 2008 at Lutheran Church of Our Savior, 155 East Thruston Blvd., in Oakwood. Please bring a dish to share for dinner, and meat and drinks will be provided.

Also, don't forget the Dayton Church Music workshop on October 12 and 13 at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dayton! This has been a long standing tradition - when I was growing up in the 1970's, I looked forward to the organ recital that goes along with this workshop every year! I look forward to seeing you there!

Kevin Rose, Dean
