Well, here it is December, and it's time for many of us to mentally
prepare for busy Christmas seasons full of extra music. We all properly
planned musically months ago, no? After this, we deserve a break! Well,
the board of the Queens AGO has foreseen your needs and along with the
Nassau and Suffolk chapters, again present a mini-convention in January.
Many of you attended our mini-conventions in the past, and the hours of
planning for this one promise to make for a day you can't miss.
There are details at our website, or attached to this newsletter, or in
your envelope; no matter how you hear about this event, you can't miss
registering. We again thank the Community Church of Douglaston for
allowing us to use their facilities. They are centrally located and
easily accessed by car or rail. This year lunch will be catered and
included in the price so as to reduce complications. Coffee and bagel
type things are available if you come early enough. If you have any
questions, call or email me and I'll get back to you with whatever answer
I can find. Keep the date free and register
early so that we can be sure to have enough materials. If you don't,
there will be walk-ins allowed, but for a little extra fee. Trust me,
it's best to sign up in advance. See the registration forms for details.
Did I say that already, or not yet? Bring another organist friend with
you. Details of the workshops are available on the registration materials
(ahhhh there it is!). See you there!
Also keep free, if you can, President's Day in February. Traditionally we
hold our midwinter luncheon on that day and that is our plan again this
year. Keep an eye out for details; we'd love to have some new faces and
some of our new members at these events, so if you are one, or know one,
please come along! |
