Gator Organ Crawl—A Co-Chapter Event with Gainesville AGO

The morning event takes us to the University of Florida organs and carillon. Councillor for Region IV, Dr. Laura Ellis, teaches at UF and her students will perform on several organs, including the 99 Rank Anderson Pipe Organ, and on the world-class 61-Bell Carillon in the Century Tower.

1:00 p.m. – tour three downtown churches and organs: First Presbyterian (Fisk) Holy Trinity (Visser-Rowland) and First United Methodist (Berghaus Rebuild of an M. P. M?ller). Carpooling can be arranged.

7:30 AM - Carpool to Gainsville	1)	Car poolers should meet at 7:30 am at Central Christian Church 250 Southwest Ivanhoe Boulevard, Orlando, Florida 32804 Call John Reilly at 321-277-6194 if you wish to car pool
	2)	The Crawl will start at 10:00 am at the Century Tower at University of FL.. Those that want to climb the tower (don't forget to tell folks that there is no elevator and a climb of 11 stories) or return to the auditorium to try out the organ.
	3)	Parking at UF 1) closest is the lot behind Tigert Hall. Tigert Hall is located on the Northeast side of campus (around SW 13th Street and SW 3rd Ave). The parking map indicates that this lot is 'gated', but on Saturday there is open parking. In the event that there is no parking in this lot on Saturday morning (can't really imagine it, but who knows?), then 2) parking garage 4 at the corner of Museum and Newell Drives. Another Suggestion: Park in the First United Methodist Church lot, 421 NE First Street, behind the church on NE 2nd St. Note that NE 2nd St is one-way going South; easiest access is to take NE 1st Street North for 3 blocks, turn R., go 2 blocks; turn R again on NE 2nd St. & look for the parking lot on the R, across from the park.

Lunch is on your own, or in a room reserved at Fat Tuscan, 725 NE 1st Street, Gainesville with other participants
