Membership Campaign:
During the fall we will be working to build the membership numbers of the
Chapter. Our plan is to build a list of prospective members and then ask an active member in the same town or with similar interests to invite the prospective members to join. We need your help with the prospective member list. If you know a person who is an organist or an organ enthusiast, please send their name and contact information to Jeremy Wirths. We will not reveal who suggested them for the list so you can tattle with immunity!
Future Plans
One important aspect of Guild events can be socializing and networking, especially among organists and musicians whose work tends towards our isolation. We hope to offer gatherings where we include fellowship and refreshments. To this end, we have landed on the following four program ideas (each including social time):
- a member recital,
- an organ transcriptions fest,
- an organ plus (instruments/voice event,
- a hymn sing festival.
We hope to present these four ideas in greater detail (venues, and dates) at our October 17 dinner meeting (see above). Lastly, the Cathedral of St. John presents an organ recital, January 11, 2026, featuring Bradley Hunter Welch (with chapter support).
Program Committee: Nathan Cleaveland, John Garlisch, Jerry Nelson, Patricia Oakley,
James Yeager (chair).
