Chapter Meeting – Sunday, March 18

The March COTOS Chapter meeting will be held at radio station WEEC in Springfield, OH. This is the temporary home of one of the Chapter's recently acquired Conn 650's. There is an open house scheduled at the radio station that day, and the organ should be available for open console. Plan to meet in the parking lot behind the auditorium at Thomas Worthington High School at 2PM for directions and maps. There will probably be little, and most likely no business portion for this meeting. There may be an opportunity to visit the Heritage Museum in Springfield, which is to be the eventual permanent home of the instrument, but this has not been confirmed.

At the February Chapter meeting Stan Krider reported on his meeting with Mr. Scot Prebles, Principal of Thomas Worthington High School. There were discussion of possible uses of the Chapter Wurlitzer in activities of the school, or in

collaborative activities with the Chapter. Also discussed were plans for a possible press conference/open house to increase public awareness of the organ and the current fund raising campaign. Stan's impression was that of a positive response on the part of Mr. Prebles.

The featured performer for the meeting was Scott Crawford. Program highlights included the Muppet Show theme, Smile (Jesse Crawford arrangement, The Entertainer (Joplin), I Dreamed a Dream (Les Misarables), St. Louis Blues, Prelude and Fugue in C Major (Bach, Well Tempered Clavier, Book !), Sunrise, Sunset. Also, a Polka Medley (Beer Barrel, Lietchensteiner, Too Fat), and Alley Cat. Open Console followed with many of the usual suspects.

Also announced was Martha Drake's upcoming birthday on March 12. She will be 91!
