The Organizations
The American Theatre Organ Society, also known as ATOS, is a National organization. The NorCal Theatre Organ Society is a chapter of ATOS.

ATOS and NorCal are dedicated to promoting the tradition of the theatre pipe organ and public understanding and appreciation of the instrument and its music, and shall aid in any way possible the preservation of theatre organs through rehabilitation of instruments and fostering the arts of playing, building, voicing, and maintenance. Both organizations are non-profit public educational corporations under IRS Section 501(c)(3).

Chapter membership includes your spouse/significant other and children under 18 if applicable.
