Nate Pultorak on March 10, 2022:

March 3rd, 2022, A mesh screen in a frame was placed above the great division in hopes to stave off the dust issue from the attic fan hole that is unfortunately placed directly above the organ. (Bats have been found inside pipes in years past that had fallen victim to the attic fan up there)
