Welcome to the new Chapter website! We’re still working out a few kinks and updating the content, so bear with us as we get everything up to date.
Update: Thursday, August 27: details for the new webhost are now mostly sorted out, so the brooklynago.org URL will point to this page. As soon as we’re certain the DNS update is complete the site will be fully live.
Join us on Monday, January 19, 2009–Martin Luther King’s holiday–for a tour of historic pipe organs in New Jersey.
You’ll be conveyed in comfort (somehow!) to organs in Hoboken, Newark, and elsewhere in the Garden State. This is a terrific chance to get out of New York without really having to leave home.
There will be a cost of $20, twenty dollars, per person, members and non-members; lunch is on your own.
RSVP: To Treasurer Steven Danziger, sdanziger AT pol DOT net, or mail an RSVP to 35 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn NY 11215. Please RSVP as soon as you can, at least to let us know you’re coming.
Join good friends and colleagues at the usual place, for the usual fabulous evening, for an unheard-of new low price!
DATE AND TIME: Sunday, January 11, 2009, 5:30 PM
PLACE: St. John’s Episcopal Church, 9818 Fort Hamilton Parkway, Brooklyn, NY 11209 http://www.saintjohns1834.org.
COST: $10 all-inclusive. That’s TEN DOLLARS! We have rolled the price back in “honor” of the economy. Please, come, and bring friends. Everyone, member or not, pays the same price of $10 apiece.
RSVP: To Treasurer Steven Danziger, sdanziger AT pol DOT net, or mail an RSVP to 35 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn NY 11215.

Join us Saturday, November 22, 2008, the Brooklyn Chapter hosted its first “Pedals, Pipes and Pizza” program.
Designed to introduce young folks to the King of Instruments in a fun, family-friendly, and educational way, this program got kids from Manhattan and Brooklyn to the five-manual Skinner organ at St. Ann and the Holy Trinity Church in Brooklyn Heights. John Klauder, Gregory Eaton, Raymond Trapp, and others crafted an outstanding day that included demonstrations, videos, performances, hands-on time at the organ, bagels and yes, excellent Brooklyn pizza!
Now, the chapter is trying to figure out how to deal with the grown-ups who wanted to come!
Join us as we kick off another wonderful year of all things “organic” with our Fall Picnic and Installation of Officers. Our event is set for Sunday, September 21. This year, we are joined by Regional Councillor David Macfarlane, who will do the honors at our installation service.
The location will be the usual one: St. John’s Episcopal Church, Saint John’s Place between 6th and 7th Avenues, PARK SLOPE, Brooklyn. (Take IRT, 2 or 3 train, to Grand Army Plaza). Time is the usual 4-7 PM
As usual, we ask you to bring something to eat and/or drink with you!
