The $14,000 instrument would be located in the Fine Arts Auditorium and is custom designed for that facility. The Lions Club, which also sponsored the Golden Spike Basketball Tournament at Weber State, undertook the project of raising funds for an organ when they learned the college was desirous of obtaining such an instrument but had no fund allocated to acquire one. The organ would fill a great need at the college for concerts and other performances as well as instructional purposes. College officials have cited the project as a wonderful public-spirited effort on the part of the club. Other fund-raising events by the Lions Club for the organ have included a boxing match held in the WSC gymnasium, an organ concert featuring Roy Darley, Salt Lake Tabernacle organist, and selling programs at WSC football games, with proceeds all going es o new organ. More fund-raising events are being planned or the future. Donations of any size from the community can be sent to the Ogden Lions Club, Chamber Opera Conn Sergiu Luca, Viol inist neert—Christmas Vesper Con LIONS ARTS P.O. Box 1954, Ogden, Utah 84402, or given to any member of the Ogden Lions Club. All donations above the cost of the organ will be given to the Weber State Library to purchase additional needed books.
