Dear Members of the Central Florida AGO,
Your Board is back to work planning coming events, and beginning preparations for our chapter’s centennial celebration. Please see the listing of our activities for the next weeks and months. We at Stetson University hope that several of you were able to attend the guest recital of James Kibbie, and we look forward to welcoming all of you to our CFAGO Members’ Recital on March 24.
As we enter the Lenten season, and begin planning for Easter, I hope we will all value our Guild and all it provides us, and will all feel fulfilled by our musical efforts in our churches and elsewhere. I am constantly reminded of the real value we all provide for our congregations and listeners.
At this time, I would like to personally thank one departing member, Thomas Melton. Thomas has served as a Board Member-at Large and has been our Newsletter editor for some time now. He has provided our Zoom connections for online board meetings, and has served in ways that only a few of us are aware of. He is leaving the area, and so has submitted his resignation (though he is still actually making this Newsletter come to you). We will miss him, and we greatly appreciate his willingness to stay with us for a while post- resignation, to support his successor in these tasks, and to provide for our administrative needs. His work for us has been greatly appreciated by all the Board members, and we wish him well in all future endeavors.
I hope to see many of you at the coming CFAGO events and at other organ-related events in the Central Florida area.
Boyd Jones
Dean, Central Florida AGO
