 Larry Clemons2010 EVP2011 President Electevp@swd.org
The 1967 prison camp movie with George Kennedy, Paul Newman, and Strother Martin (the prison Captain) had an epic line where Strother Martin addresses the assembled prisoners and declares: "What we have here is a failure to communicate". Certainly the Southwestern District does not have a failure to communicate.

RUNNING AGAIN!
Barbershop chapters are organized as businesses. Corporations to be exact. And we are organized as corporations for several reasons. Among the reasons are:
- Protecting individual members from tort liabilities arising from chapter operations.
- Protecting individual members from tax liabilities arising from chapter operations.
- Maintaining our affiliation with the Barbershop Harmony Society our beloved SPEBSQSA Inc.

In the seventies, when I joined Barbershopping in El Paso, Texas, I was fortunate enough to attend an event that was filled with music, fun and great memories that are with me even now. It was the Mountainglow! This was an event that attracted barbershoppers to the beautiful pine filled Lincoln National Forest in Ruidoso, New Mexico.
