Dinner and “Best of Bach” Concert On March 3, 2025, we will travel to Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove to attend the “Best of Bach” concert, featuring the Cathedral’s huge, newly refurbished organ and the Cathedral’s Choirs. This is a secular event, although some of the music will be religious in nature, because that is much of what Bach composed for the organ. The Cathedral’s Hazel Wright Organ (aka “Hazel”) recently completed a multi-year, $3 million refurbishment. It is the world’s 5th largest pipe organ, with 17,106 pipes and is now is in superb condition. Before our concert, we will enjoy a buffet style dinner at Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que. Sign-ups begin Monday, January 27. Click here to register.

See LAX Historic Hangar 1, ongoing construction projects, various aircraft like the A380 and Dreamliner, cargo, and corporate jet operations.
