Message from the Dean
Our chapter has 72 members, including many young organists through the national AGO’s initiative. Through prudent management and partnerships with other organizations, our finances remain strong, enabling our Planning Subcommittee to work with creativity and imagination in past and future program years. We are blessed to have a robust and collegial chapter with a hard-working Board.
If you are not yet a member of our Chapter and would like to join us, we would love to have you! Please see membership information below or join us at www.agohq.org.
I hope to see you at upcoming events and meanwhile wish you health and refreshment in this busy season.
Sincerely,
Kathleen (Katie) Connolly, Dean
