Good News. This proposal has been accepted.
In its November 12 meeting, the Musical Instrument Selection Committee reviewed a proposal dated October 7, 2009 from Jerroll Adams Organ Builder to renovate a 20 rank Wicks pipe organ housed in the Bloomfield Hills Michigan stake center. The proposal listed a cost of $74,875.
I am in the process of writing a history of this organ. So far this is what I have.
April 26, 1959 the Bloomfield Hills Stake Center was dedicated by David O. McKay.
