    REMOVAL OF ORGAN FROM THE SENIOR CENTER

    The Senior Center purchased the organ that is in the Dining Room many years ago.

    For a long time, the Senior Center had someone who knew how to play it and regaled

    our Center with her talent. However, it has been some time since anyone has played

    the organ. We are now looking to remove it.

     

    If someone knows someone who would be willing to take it, please let the Senior Center

    office know. If someone knows someone who can play it and would be willing to come

    to the Center, please let the Senior Center office know. Thank you.
