Message from the Dean |
| Dear Colleagues,
Lengthening daylight of spring lead to the warm relaxed days of summer. As we start to wind up another busy year of music making, continue to offer your best music to everyone and take advantage of an opportunity to listen to the music making of a colleague or group. Is there an organist out there that you haven't invited to become a chapter member? Now is the time to make the offer. Our final chapter event is the picnic in June. Stay tuned for details. Camilla Jarnot, Dean (icamac@comcast.net) |
