A visit to Greensboro

Your regional councillor visited the Greater Greensboro Chapter on Monday, February 25 for a general business meeting at Guilford Park Presbyterian Church. Following a lovely meal, Ellis provided an update on structural changes within the AGO and the chapter voted on updated operating procedures. Members in attendance are pictured in front of the Walcker organ housed in the sanctuary. (Yes, I was actually there, but took the picture!)
