  • Utah Valley Chapter Newsletter
    OCTOBER 1997 No. 2 OCTOBER CHAPTER MEETING Christmas in October? Of course. The season will be upon us sooner than we’d like to think, so we may as well be prepared for it. Have you arranged a carol or found an arrangement of a noel for prelude or postlude that you would like to share with us? Do you have an interesting way of playing a Christmas hymn for congregational singing? Take a minute and dig through your repertoire, before the snow flies, and see if AMERICAN there may be something you would like to present at the meeting. GUILD OF ORGANISTS We plan to do this sharing on Thursday, October 16th , at 7:30 p.m. at the Sunset Stake 1 9 9 7 Center, 1560 S. 1100 W., Provo (see directions on back). Thanks to Mary Paz for scheduling her meeting house for us, and to LuJean Moss for refreshments. Since we’d like to have a variety of Christmas music represented, it probably won’t do us any good to have 15+ arrangements or free accompaniments of Silent Night. In Utah Valley order to have things coordinated, please call DeeAnn Stone (377-4748 or email: [email protected]) with what you would like to do, so she can plan the program. Please Chapter call as soon as you can, so we’ll know who would like to participate. Carol Smart, Dean Newsletter of the Salt Lake Chapter, said that their chapter would like to join us, too. It will be a fun evening preparing for the Christmas season with them.
