Featured Membership Benefit

Did you know that Area 9 has handchimes that we loan out to school, senior centers, and after school programs? Each school year, we loan two three-octaves sets of chimes to different organizations in Area 9. Currently, the chimes are in use in El Paso, TX and in The Woodlands, TX. Who knows where they’ll end up next year. Maybe in your program! Learn More Here
