Fellow handballers,

As chairman for the 2000 Nationals at the U of M June 4-10, I want to encourage your participation. We have many good players in this state who can really make a significant impact on the draw. Also, as a player you can watch the other greats of the game, learn shots and techniques to improve your game and enjoy the camaraderie of other handballers. One other benefit of playing is the banquet at which one of our own will be inducted into the USHA Handball Hall of Fame - Bill Yambrick. Come and give Bill the support he deserves for helping Minnesota to become the handball mecca it is.

Until June, you can support the Nationals by purchasing the 2000 issue gloves and by contributing to the fund raising. All size donations are welcome as we need to raise nearly $50,000 to make this event a success. Your contribution will be recognized in the official program. Please see the information on advertising in the newsletter. I hope to see you at the Nationals.

Gary
