Mid-Winter Update ...



Greetings COAA Members and Friends,

We’re now in the midst of winter, which, for those who live in the Northern climes, it’s just too cold too often to be out and about cranking organs and operating Carousel Organs. However, it’s never too soon to be preparing for the upcoming rally season.

The COAA Mid-year Board meeting will take place the third week of February. Among the discussion topics are the following: committee reports; officer reports; member recruiting; member directory; nominating committee in preparation for elections next January; and advertising.

To date, there are eight rallies scheduled; and there’s plenty of time to add others. If you’re interested in hosting a rally please contact Suzie Hendricks, Organ Rally Coordinator, at shhendricks@stkate.edu
