Web Site Update |
| The COTOS web site is undergoing a major facelift to improve its appearance and make it more user friendly. The upgrades will be gradual, so you will see old stuff mixed with the new for some time. New items at this time include a basic search function at the bottom of the home page, and a link below it to a new page with advanced search capability. Also, a modified membership page with a link to another page containing only the membership form for ease of printing. |
| Recent additions include concert photos of Patti Simon and Barry Baker at the Rochester, NY, Auditorium Center, and Barry at the Embassy Theatre in Ft. Wayne, IN. Also a page offering a children's book, "The Amazing Pipe Organ," for sale by the Chapter. |

As Always . . . |
| We're still open for any contributions for the Stoptab. If you have any concert, album, or book reviews, we'd like to publish them. Also, as you see at the top of the page, we're ready to publish "classifieds," either items for sale or items that you are looking for. It would also be possible to put these on the web site. |
