Dear AGO Friends, Our program season ended on Thursday with a delightful and entertaining program, Never On Sunday, which included music that you wouldn't expect to hear on a Sunday morning! Thanks to Paul Pinkosky and First Christian Church for hosting this event, providing a wonderful meal, and for supplying a larger-than-expected audience. New Chapter officers were elected, and congratulations are extended to all, especially new Dean Susan Panciera and SubDean Jaime Carini. I know they will serve the Chapter well, and I encourage you to give them your support and help. It has been an honor to serve as Dean of the Tulsa Chapter for the past two years, and I want to express my thanks to all who have served in various roles, especially the Program Committee- Mike Bedford, Mike McCrary, Bruce Wilkin, Vicki Smith, and Susan Panciera, who as SubDean has been a wonderful and able colleague. Special thanks also go to Fred Elder for his willingness to continue year after year as Chapter Treasurer, and Karen Rich, who faithfully produces The Tracker each month. These two friends go beyond the call of duty to keep the Chapter running smoothly, and I thank them on behalf of the entire membership. I encourage you to continue to support the work and mission of the AGO, as we strive to promote the organ and its music! Best wishes for a restful summer break, and I look forward to seeing you in the Fall as we begin a new season. Sincerely, Ron Pearson, Dean |

| Greetings!
Thank you all for the opportunity to serve you as SubDean of the Tulsa AGO Chapter. I have been continuously inspired by your collegiality and your graciousness since I resumed my life here in Tulsa one year ago and began my current position as Director of Music at First Presbyterian Church in Claremore. I consider it an incredible privilege to partner with you all in supporting the various facets of our organization. To that end, please be in touch with me about programming and your interest in serving on our program committee. Would you benefit from an organ or choral literature workshop, masterclass, or seminar on the nuts-and-bolts of the music business? Is this the year that you want to host an event in your home or at your church? Your suggestions for programs that we might offer throughout the 2012-13 year will help our lineup reflect your interests. Soli Deo Gloria, Jaime Carini, SubDean Email: jlcarini@gmail.com Phone: 918-706-3005 |
