Epiphany Dinner Recap

For this, our first Epiphany Dinner in three years, we reached out to each of our nearly 150 members individually and heard back from over half.

50 people, including AGO members and their guests, enjoyed the recital and dinner, many expressed regrets that they could not attend, and 16 made donations to help sponsor a Young Organist at the dinner.
