IGBO ANNUAL TOURNAMENT
Well, we are a month closer to the Annual Tournament in Denver and I've had nobody tell me that they're going!  I will tell you all now that I AM planning on going, but I don't wanna go by myself!!  Maybe we can talk the board into paying the tournament fee for all members who want to attend!  Again, the tournament is May 24-27th (Memorial Day weekend).  From what I understand, everybody will bowl at least 9 games...singles, doubles, then teams (of 4).  You will be competing against everyone in your average category (I'm not sure how they separate the categories).  Prizes will be awarded for high scratch bowlers, as well as high handicap bowlers.  Aside from bowling, there will be plenty of activities to keep you entertained.  The time to act is now.  Flights and hotels have to be booked now to take advantage of the savings!  To avoid late registration fees, you must be registered by April 15th.  I have all the registration information, as well as the host hotel info, and anything else you would need to know!  See me now!!   
 
KAREN DOESN'T SING!
Karen will be out of the singing business the rest of this month as she recovers from shoulder surgery.  Her April schedule is listed below and is also available on her website...www.kgrenier.com.  
 
NHGMC NEWS
The New Hampshire Gay Men's Chorus is in full swing in preparation for their tribute to Cole Porter in May.  Tickets will be available soon.  If you know someone who would like to place an ad in our program, please see Tim immediately (ads due by 3/15).  You can also go online to www.nhgmc.com and make 'Well Wishes' to your favorite chorus members, which will be printed in the program.  The chorus is also in the process of determining a scholarship winner for the 3rd annual NHGMC Scholarship.  The scholarship is awarded to any graduating senior from a NH high school who will be majoring in Performing Arts as a full time student.  If you know of someone who would like to participate, send them to our website or have them give me a call.  
 
NEXT NEWSLETTER
Guess who's going on vacation again?!  Richard & I will be leaving at the end of the month for Ft. Lauderdale, so the next newsletter won't be out until April 11th.  I'm having a hard time making up stories for this newsletter, so if you have ANYTHING you want put on here, please send an email to timrich64@comcast.net.  Don't tell me at bowling (unless you make me write it down!!) otherwise I'll forget!
