Please come out and support your Rounders at the Chili Cook-off tomorrow. Detail is located elsewhere in this E-Mail. It will be good fun  and a great icebreaker as we prepare for our rehearsal schedule.

Please see the below in regard to our Calgary trip in 2011. Nominal deposits are due February 28...an extension from the original date. We have terrific response so far...and want to get a good idea of how many Rounders are planning on going. The best way to count you in is to please send in your registration and deposit. I really want each of you to join us!
Our first full band music rehearsal is coming up Tuesday, February 16. Please bring your music stand and arrive early...ready to play at 7:00PM.
