meeting along with Kim Kilburn, organist at St. Patrick's.
Acting President Carl Balduf asked for approval of the minutes of the April meeting, as printed on the Michigan Chapter Web site and provided as printed copies at the meeting. A motion to approve the minutes was made and seconded and the motion carried. The
Treasurer's report (printed below) was then reviewed and accepted. Kim
Kilburn, St. Patrick's Organist was introduced to the group, with many thanks
for co-hosting the meeting, Old
Business included a discussion of the Michigan Chapter archive.
Balduf stated that the Madonna University archive was now unsure about
hosting the archive. Dave Wagner explained that it was a matter is staff and
money. Balduf related that Fr. Pennington had suggested the Bentley Library
in Ann Arbor and Joann Rickards Clark said she would look into the
possibilities at Mary Grove college. New Business was taken up with the appointment of a vote-tallying committee, consisting of Dana Hull, MaryAnn Balduf and Kim Kilburn. The committee then retired to count the votes received as of May 12, 2006 plus one vote cast at the meeting. Balduf then announced that the first fall meeting, arranged by Steven Ball, would be on September 2 at Hill Auditorium and Burton Tower, for a demonstration of the Frieze Memorial Organ and the Charles Baird Carillon. Balduf expressed his gratitude for Steven's efforts to make these arrangements. The vote counting committee returned with their tabulated results of the Chapter election: Total number of votes cast: 19 Carl Balduf for President: 19 Terry Jankowski for Treasurer: 19 Henry Aldridge for Vice President: 10 Steven Ball for Vice President: 8 (Note that one ballot was cast without a vote for Vice President.) The meeting was adjourned at 10:15 a.m., followed by an interesting talk and Q&A by Dave Wigton about his restoration and "trackerization" of the 1927 Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling (and 1964 J. A. Hebert & Son) Organ (LISTEN) Dave Wagner, MaryAnn Balduf, Greg Garber and Joann Rickards Clark then demonstrated the organ. All agreed that it was a lovely piece of work by Wigton Pipe Organs, Inc. After departing St. Patrick's Church, a number of members met at RP McMurphy's restaurant for a delightful time at lunch. Respectfully
submitted, President
Al Hunter and Dana Hull
take a moment to chat.
Joann Rickards Clark and
Kim Kilburn are dwarfed by the immense
beauty of the sanctuary. |
