We didn’t just crawl on Monday, October 12. We played and ate and went for a swim. Ok, no swim, but it sure was cool by the pool!

Do consider avoiding the summer doldrums by taking a class, practicing extra, or going to one of the regional AGO conventions, being held SOON.

The NYC Chapter has a rather good calendar of organ related concerts and recitals in our area.

We do not maintain a list of substitutes, but are often asked. If you are available, let us know (specifically at the dean’s email)

and your name and number can be shuffled along.
