Don’t forget, many memberships are due for renewal on July 1st. When you renew, it’s also the perfect time to make a chapter contribution. Contributions to the North Shore Chapter help ensure that we can continue to bring you quality programming in the coming years.

Membership Matters | July 2020
Greetings everyone. Just a reminder that many memberships are due for renewal this month. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to visit ONCARD to complete your renewal for the coming year and ensure you don’t miss out on all the Guild has to offer. You can access ONCARD at this link https://www.agohq.org/oncard-login/
When renewing your membership, this is also the perfect time to make a chapter contribution to help ensure that North Shore Chapter can continue to bring you the kind of programming you’ve come to expect. If you are unable to make a contribution when you renew, you can make a contribution to the chapter at any time during the year by logging into to ONCARD and clicking the “Make a Contribution” link.
Stay Safe and Be Well,
Rich Spantikow

Did you know that AGO has created a task force to address inclusivity? We as a chapter are very serious when we say, “Everyone is welcome in our chapter.”
If you have an interest in music, and organ in particular, you will always be treated with respect and warmth regardless of your level of skill or the instrument you play. We all have something to bring to the table. Sometimes the most important thing you bring is your friendship.

As part of making sure our website is updated and contains the correct information, we’ve done some editing of users and their access to the site. That said, some of you may have received an email stating that even though you were a NorthShore member, you didn’t have access to the site. If you received this email, you may have noticed the email contained a link to reset your password. Once you do that, you’ll be able to log in.
When you go to: https://northshoreago.org scroll down to the bottom of the page. Under “meta links” (in the black bar) you’ll see a link to log in. Click that, enter your ID and password. If you are unable to log in, click the “forgot your password” link (on the login page) to reset your password. All current members now have access to the website.

Membership Matters June 2019
Welcome New Members:
A very warm welcome to Linda Ceraona and Matthew Doran who joined our chapter this past month. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out to a board member and we’ll help you out the best that we can.
Renewal Reminder:
A lot of us have our renewals coming up soon. You can renew your membership via the ONCARD system. When renewing it is a good time to look over your membership data, (addresses, email, phone, etc.) and make the changes at this time. It is also a great time to consider making a donation to the NSAGO! You can make donations to the chapter at any time via ONCARD, but it’s very easy to do so while renewing your membership.
