Keeping Track of the Organ Fund

Look for the keyboard display in the narthex to let you know how well we are doing toward
raising $11,000 for a new organ. There are 145 keys on the organ (60 on each keyboard and

25 on the pedals). As money is put into the organ fund we will color in the keys in bright col-
ors so you can see where we are. Once all the keys are filled in we will have enough money
to buy the organ and have it placed in the nave. Each key is worth about $75.00 in case you
would like to donate a key or more. You can put any donation in the Sunday offering with a
note that it is for the organ fund.

We thank the Memorial team for donating $5,000, the TLCW for donating $500, the family of
Curtis Hansen for donating $350, and others who have donated, and continue to donate, to
the organ fund. As I write this, we have a little over $7,000 – well on the way to having a new

organ. See a picture of the organ on the keyboard chart. If you have any questions, talk to
Heidi Swanson or Mary Nuss.
