The ‘crawl’ to Phoenix promises to be an exceptionally interesting event. It includes visits to two significant instruments (Berghaus, La Casa de Cristo and Richards & Fowkes, Pinnacle Presbyterian), plus a reserved tour at the Music Instrument Museum (MIM) where we’ll also have lunch. FYI, the MIM is the largest museum of its type in the world. The collection of over 15,000 musical instruments and associated objects includes examples from nearly 200 countries and territories, representing every inhabited continent. Whew!
 
MIM Information: MIM Entrance Fee: $20. Pay Raymond at the MIM. We’ll enter the MIM as a tour group. Lunch Information: We’ll eat lunch on our own at one of the two MIM cafes.
 
At 5:00 PM, we are leaving Pinnacle Presbyterian Church and heading to the World Famous, Organ Stop Pizza for dinner and enjoy the musical stylings of Brett Valliant. (It is approximately a 35 minute drive.) We will leave for Tucson around 6:45 and 7:00 PM. This will place us back at Catalina United Methodist Church around 9:00 PM.
 
Please sign up for the crawl whether you are driving yourself or whether you want to carpool; meeting at Catalina Methodist Church at 7:45 a.m.. We need to have a count for our entrance and pre-arranged tour of the MIM. Contact Dee Schultz at adschul@yahoo.com or phone her at 520-343-5343 by Thursday, Feb. 5. Once again, we need to know if you plan to attend—and we hope you are!
 
A BONUS FOR PARTICIPANTS: The visit to Pinnacle Presbyterian Church includes a recital by Rhonda Edgington, who will present Music of Germany and the Baltics. This concert is a part of Pinnacle’s celebration of the 20th anniversary of the installation of the Richards & Fowkes organ.
