We have some truly great news! A new organization for all theatre organ enthusiasts seriously interested in spreading the word about these wonderful instruments has been formed. It is the "Theatre Organ Society International" (TOSI) and is a membership organization for public and charitable purposes whose aim is to promote and present theatre organ performance as an internationally recognized art form. 

This TOSI aim will be implemented, in part, by the following:

* Performance programming aimed specifically for the general public as well as enthusiasts.
* Performance programming utilizing fine organs, including several in venues not readily accessible.
* Programming involving performances by a wide range of accomplished artists, many of whom are all too infrequently heard.
* Promoting theatre organ performance as a popular entertainment icon, thereby providing a unique musical experience.
* Programming scheduled within reasonably short time frames, thereby permitting local audiences to participate without incurring significant travel and housing expense.
* Forming international alliances emphasizing the international character of the theatre organ.
* Establishing a clearinghouse for theatre organ placement.
* Having a Board of Directors of international character responsible for all activities of the organization without having any additional and cumbersome administrative structure.
* Publishing a newsletter for all members (likely on a quarterly basis initially).
* Publishing a quality magazine with general appeal for members and non-members alike available on a subscription basis (likely on a semi-annual basis initially).

You will note that these characteristic activities and approaches describe an organization, which intentionally commits itself to filling in many gaps, which currently exist in the presentation and promotion of the theatre organ. We are unaware of any other group of enthusiasts, which operates in this way. Hence, TOSI is clearly complementary to all other such groups and is in competition with none of them.  Additionally, we will aggressively pursue cooperative ventures with other theatre organ organizations around the world and work closely with them in a spirit of unity.
 
We invite you to join us in this exciting new venture.
