Database Manager on May 30, 2011:

Posted to PIPORG-L May 28, 2011 by Stephen Roberts: - We are also sending the II/9 1884 Hook and Hastings that we removed from a church in Barnegat, NJ, last summer [to Bolivia]. That organ will be installed next year in a new church in Plan 3000, a very poor barrio of Santa Cruz. This project has been sponsored through donations from all 7 Connecticut AGO chapters, plus the NYC chapter, and some private individuals.
