Theresa B,Moose,Chairman Organ Selection Comittee Concord Presbyterian Churcl April 2h,1976 Mr.John Dagenhart,Chairman Worship Committee Concord Presbyterian Church Dear Mr.Dagenhart; by your co mom itt ec I am pleased to inform you of the selection of an organyfor the Concord Presbyterian Church sanctuary.We have unanimously chosen the Allen 201. The committee has,over a period of one,year,looked at fifteen organs that were within our price range,including both elect and pipe organs.Two electronic organs were invited for demoastrations.Keeping in mind considerations relative price,guarantee,serwice,maintenance,quality of sound and varie of sound,we selected this very fine instrument, The basic orran was demonstrated in our church on July 15,1 > however the installation in our church will be slichtly different. The mixed speaker system is to be more powerful than the orgar demonstrated and the console will have a 32'pedak and J added,Our committee also voted to pecommem the traditional ccnsole, FoIbwing the advice of Mr.Ross and the installation technician we recommend that the speakers be placed in the front of the chure in the present speaker chamber,Monitor speakers,two,are to be placed in unobtrusive white cabinets on the front side of two beam: in the church ceiling.The antiphonal organ is to be placed in th balcony in front of the stairs in an enclosure of fabric over k"studs to be built for these speakers,We also voted t ave our present chimes tuned and the exterior speakers made operational. At the time of the installation we furthur recommend that a change be made inside the choir loft,The organ is to be placed in an area approximately 5'X 5'that is lowered to the level of the floor of the sanctuary and facing the choir,This would allow t! organist/choir directory f.have contact with the choir during per- formances.If money allows,the seating for the choir should b slightly elevated by ow from front to back. We estimate that the required carpentry work will cost $300.00. Jur present organ can either be sold or traded in to C approximately $00.00.At any rate,we expect to realize mor enough:from this old organ to cover the carpentry expenscs. It has been our pleasure to serve the church as an orrar selection committee.W hope that our decision meets with vour approval, o el ase Brothers 4926 N.TRYON ST.,CHARLOTTE,NC.28213 PHONE (704 596-3846 Where the Music Starts April 10,1976 Mre.Theresa Moose Route 8,Box A3 Statesville,North Carolina 28677 Re:Concord Presbyterian Church Dear Mrs.Moose I was delighted to receive your letter of April 8th,telling us of the selection of the Allen Digital Computer Organ for your church.

Our work here at the Home has many facets,but we feel the Christian environment and education which we offer our children is of primary importance.If this area of our »mrogram is to be effective,we need staff who live with,and accept the love and forgiveness which Christ has given us. But,in addition to this,our staff must also be able to practice these princinles as they work with troubled youth and their families. lould you take a few minutes in the pulpit to stress our need,and challenge anyone in your church whose Christian commitment,and present situation would allow them to enter a stewartship of service such as this?There is currently an opening for a mature lady,or a couple provided the husband coule fand community employment -in a girls' cottace,le hope to Fill this wosition in the near future.From time to time we have an opening in the child care staff area,and it would be a tremendous help to us if you would keep us in mind,and bring this to the attention of your church family periodically.Any help you can give us in this way will be a @irect service to children who desparately need the caring and concern a person with these qualities could give. Contact me at P.0.Pox 98,Panner Elk,North CArolina 28604, or phone office (704)898-5393 or home -(704)898-5755. The need is urgent -please help us.

I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to come to one of your meetings and talk with you about Meals on Wheels.The program is growing quite rapidly and hopefully,is of interest to everyone in the community.This service to the elderly and/or disabled offers the possibilities of volunteer services from church and civic organizations. The Meals on Wheels program is designed to bring a hot,nutritious lunch each week day to anyone who is not able to cook for himself.Not only is there the importance of good nutrition,but the daily check on the client's physical well-being. When you are setting up your programs for this fall,please feel free to call on me for one of them.I am really interested in spreading the word of this good community service.I can be reached at 873-5171 (the Council on Aging Office)between 8-5 each week day. lso,we would appreciate it if the Meals on Wheels could be included in your budget for the up-coming year.A great amount of money has to be raised locally to keep the program on-going.Thanks for your consideration!
