The
October 2005 meeting of the Michigan Chapter of the Organ Historical Society
was called to order at 10:30 a.m. at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church in
Detroit, Michigan, following an hour of playing and listening to the bold and
beautiful Petty-Madden organ. (Listen)
Present
were Carl and MaryAnn Balduf, Anne and Fred Fahrner, Leonard Feerick, Dana
Hull, John Lovegren, Edmund Price, Joann Rickards Clark and David Wigton.
Acting
President Carl Balduf reported on the results of the mail survey (relevant
data shown on the left). He asked for calling committee volunteers and Joann
Rickards Clark volunteered to head the committee. Balduf also mentioned that
a Michigan Chapter Web page is available at www.cabaletta.com.
He
then thanked Joann Rickards Clark for hosting the meeting at both Hartford
Memorial Baptist Church and at Marygrove College. A hearty round of applause
followed.
Balduf
then raised a question about the 501c(3) status of the Chapter. It was opined
within the group that this status is conferred through the national O.H.S.
organization. Balduf said that he would check on this.
Discussion
then followed about dues for student members. A motion was made and
seconded that student dues be $5. The motion carried.
In the
absence of Treasurer Terry Jankowski, who was out of town, Balduf read the
treasurer report (printed below).
The
meeting was adjourned at 11 a.m. and the participants partook of coffee and
goodies provided by Hartford Memorial. The meeting then moved to Marygrove
college to explore the elegant romanticism of the Casavant organ in the
Chapel. (Listen)
Respectfully
submitted,
Carl Balduf

President
