NO SHOWS/CANCELLATIONS - Should a chapter member be unable to attend a chapter meeting
for which (s)he has made a dinner reservation, the member shall be assessed 100% of the individual
dinner fee, per reservation made. Cancellation of reservations must be made by the Thursday prior to
a program.
A reminder notice of payment due will be sent to the individual. Payment checks should be mailed
directly to Treasurer: Charlene Ponder Wall at P.O. Box 968, Alpharetta, GA 30009-968
UNPAID DINNER FEES – Should a member fail to pay the outstanding meal charges, (s)he will not

Atlanta Chapter Scholarship and Memorial Funds
The chapter welcomes contributions to our Scholarship/Memorial Funds, both of which are appropriate for
memorial gifts. Checks should be sent to Charlene Ponder Wall, Treasurer, P.O. Box 968 Alpharetta, GA
30009-0968 Acknowledgments will be sent to the donor, and if a memorial gift, to the family of the deceased.
For further information regarding memorial gifts, please contact the Chapter Dean. If you have questions about
making a donation for scholarships, please contact the Chapter Sub-Dean.
Events Calendar
The chapter keeps a master calendar of musical events in Atlanta churches, on which members may register
events in hopes of preventing conflicts. To check previously scheduled events or to add a program to the
calendar, contact Timothy Gunter at 404-365-1050 or preferably, email at tgunter@cathedralATL.org.

Library/Resources
An index of the music collection (consisting primarily of the personal library of Miss Edna Bartholomew) is
currently in progress. If you desire to utilize resources from the chapter library or have any other inquiry, please
visit the chapter website where you will find the complete listing of items available. Instructions are given for
accessing chapter resources.
Professional Certification
The AGO offers five levels of certification for members interested in enhancing their professional
development. Outlines of requirements are published in each July issue of The American Organist, or may be
obtained from the National Headquarters. Consultation is offered locally each year for Atlanta members. For
additional information contact Jeffrey McIntyre, CAGO.
Referral Service
The Atlanta Chapter employment referral service is an information bureau for persons or institutions interested
in listing or searching for permanent church positions. The chapter does not attempt to match individuals with
institutions, but simply provides information regarding employment opportunities.
The employment referral service is completely separate from the “Supply Church Musicians” listing service.
For information regarding substitute musicians, please see the listing in the yearbook.
The most up-to-date and comprehensive information regarding permanent job opportunities is found on
the chapter web site. Listings are taken from the web site on the day of the newsletter deadline and duplicated
in the newsletter.
To list a job opportunity through the web site, go to www.agoatlanta.org under “Employment Referral.”
Substitute Musician Listing
The chapter maintains a list of members willing to serve as substitutes. Listings are provided as information,
and negotiating parties are responsible for matching requirements and skills. To seek a substitute or add or
remove your name from the substitute list, contact John Sabine at 678-592-4741. The current substitute list
appears in this yearbook.
Social Media
GOOGLEGROUPS - Belonging to this posting group is a benefit of your chapter membership. There is
nothing you need do to receive posts from our chapter members. Your email was added to our group as
provided in our membership database. To change or update your email, contact our Registrar, David Barber,
at atlantaagoregistrar@gmail.com after changing your information in ONCARD. You may also request to
be removed from the group, though we strongly encourage you to not do so, as the Google Groups is our main
link to send out important chapter information between editions of the newsletter. The posts will simply appear
in your email. If you wish to post a message or publicity to Google Groups about your event use the email
address atlanta-ago@googlegroups.com. Then, type your message and send as a normal email. You do not
need to create any profile or account.
Things to remember:
1. Include Atlanta AGO in the subject line to easily identify this as not being SPAM.
2. Include ALL pertinent information regarding date, time and location of your event in the posting.
Attaching a poster won’t do, as some folk can’t or won’t open attachments.
3. Limit yourself to one posting per event.
4. Please, no personal business ads or postings for friends or other institutions are allowed. We have a
paid option for business ads, and posting for other churches negates the benefits of being a paid
chapter member. Job postings may be forwarded to Pamela Ingram for inclusion on the website and
in The Organizer — the correct venues for such listings.
FACEBOOK - Join us on Facebook! We have two pages, one for all members and one specifically for students.
They are named Atlanta Chapter - American Guild of Organists and Atlanta Chapter Youth - American
Guild of Organists. In addition to Google Groups and The Organizer, this un-moderated outlet is a main
resource for sharing information about your programs and any topic related to the organ or choral worlds. Our
Facebook page membership is open to all, regardless of chapter affiliation, so you’ll reach people not only in
Atlanta but across the country. Creating a Facebook account is free and easy. You don’t have to publically post
your information or make posts to receive information from our chapter.
