WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP?
Have you wanted to help the Organ Society but weren’t
sure how? We have several volunteer opportunities (commitments need not be
long-term):
+ Carpentry/masonry: Some
framing and other build-out work will be needed soon in the chamber in
preparation for the start of installation.
+ Mechanical/electrical:
Inspect and assess the condition of the blower, which provide air to the organ,
and do any necessary repair or tune-up work.
+ Webmaster: Design the
Organ Society’s new website.
+ Grant writing: Research
and prepare submissions to foundations and businesses.
If you are interested, please contact Organ Society
President Ken Krause at 781-874-0920 or kenneth.krause@comcast.net.
