DEAN’S MESSAGE |

October 2011 Message Dear colleagues and friends-De
We commenced the chapter’s 54th season with a catered dish dinner at the Lutheran Church of the Messiah in Flushing. It was wonderful to see a wide spectrum of our membership roster from charter member Mary Kaner to new members Eva Sze, Prince Nyatanga, and Judith Lowe. The twenty five attendees feasted on appetizers, the entrée course prepared by Gerald Anders, and dessert/coffee. Thank you to Allen Dreyfuss, Janet, and Elaine for setting-up and cleaning-up the church’s fellowship hall. We got the season off to a great start!

Member’s Recital October 30, 4:00 PM Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church 86-45 Edgerton Blvd., Jamaica Estates
I am pleased to announce that Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Jamaica Estates is hosting our October 30 Member’s Recital. The last time we had a Member’s Recital at that house of worship was two decades ago (I must be getting old). Thank you to Edward Burkard, Director of Music at Immaculate Conception Church, for assisting with the recital. Our recitalists are Ivan Guevara, Juan Valencia, Mark Victor Smith, and new members Eva Sze and Prince Nyatanga. Refreshments will follow the concert. Help us publicize the recital by placing information about it in your church bulletin. Organ Crawl November 11 Gerald Anders, our sub-dean, and his committee are putting together an organ crawl in Queens county for Friday, November 11- Veteran’s Day. Detailed information will be in our next newsletter and on our web site.
Happy 90th Birthday Olga Conti We extend happy 90th birthday greetings to Olga Conti. Olga retired from her church music career almost a decade ago after serving the parishes of Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Richmond Hill), St. Margaret (Middle Village), and Mary Gate of Heaven (Ozone Park). Olga has been residing in Virginia Beach, Virginia since her retirement.
Get Well Wishes Thomas Sexton and Meredith Baker They are not each 90 years of age, but both former dean Thomas Sexton and Region II Professional Concerns chairperson Meredith Baker had hip surgery. We wish them both a speedy physical recovery.
Chapter Dues The excellent programming we consistently offer is funded by your dues and financial gifts to the chapter. I thank our members who have renewed for this Guild year. I also appreciate the monetary gifts many of you made to the chapter. If you have not remitted your dues please do so as soon as possible. I also thank colleagues who provide in-kind services.
I look forward to seeing you at our October activities!
Sincerely,
Vincent G. Alukonis Dean
