National AGO directs that the registration fees for a POE are to cover only the food and lodging for the participants. The other costs of this event are the responsibility of the sponsoring AGO chapter. That is US!
Fortunately a very generous anonymous donor is willing to match each donation we give, up to a total of $15,000. Please consider supporting this effort at whatever amount is comfortable for you, and it will be doubled! One of the goals in our mission statement is to “nurture future generations of organists”. Let us all pull together to help this summer’s Pipe Organ Encounter successfully nurture these young people with an unforgettable experience on the organ that can propel them on their way to becoming the next generation of organists!
