On Saturday, August 23 the club has arranged a tour of Dobson Pipe Organ Builders in Lake City, Iowa, a manufacturer of organs used in churches and concert halls around the world. They have just rebuilt their facility after a devastating fire a couple years ago, so we will get to see not only how these magnificent instruments are built, but also their new state-of-the-art facility. The tour starts at 9:30am. Please sign up here to help us provide a head count to Dobson by Friday, August 15th.

We plan to have lunch in Lake City after the tour for those who want to. If you want to carpool, please meet at the Ankeny Hampton Suites at Exit 89 off I-35, by 7:30am. See the map below. You can begin self-organizing carpools as soon as you arrive, then head out. No need to wait for everyone to arrive. Address of Dobson Organ Builders is 200 North Illinois Street, Lake City, IA.
