There is a hand organ rally (sponsored by the Heart of America Chapter
of AMICA) in Grove, Oklahoma on April 13-15.  The actual rally is on
Saturday, April 14, where members can stroll through and play organs
at Lendonwood Gardens in Grove.  Saturday evening will provide a buffet
dinner and entertainment.  Sunday morning will be a breakfast at Ron
and Mary Jo Bopp's home along with collection viewing, etc.

Anyone interested in getting out this early spring and hearing and/or
playing organ music is welcome.  The gardens will be in full bloom at
this time of the year and northeast Oklahoma is beautiful (that's why
they call it "Green Country").  Email me at <bopp@peoplepc.com> for more
details and a registration form.  Registration is a low $15.00 per
person and the motel rate is a very low $40.00 per night.

We already have several organ grinders from out of the area registered.

Thanks
Ron Bopp
