Volunteers Roosevelt High School Project
We had a total of 43 volunteers who worked on the rebuild and expansion of the Roosevelt organ, and altogether they contributed more than 5,100 hours to this project. There were 17 people each of whom contributed more than 100 hours to the project and six of these contributed more than 250 hours. The vast majority of this work was done in the first seven months of 2009 and we typically worked two days per week during this period. We often had 8 to 12 people come on a work day, but at times as many as 16 people came to work at the same time. As many as eight different tasks were simultaneously being worked upon in a truly intense effort which resulted in the instrument being done ahead of schedule and under budget.
The photographs in the left sidebar show some of the tasks that our volunteers did to make this rebuilt and expanded organ a reality for Roosevelt students. You can click on the photos to see larger images.
