continuing to add new features all the time?
Check out these two new features:
Members Blog: Want to contact another Rounder, want to Carpool to rehearsal or possibly even need an instrument? Might you like to wish a Happy Birthday or just pass-on a note to your section? Maybe you need a roommate for Calgary or are looking for someone to share in a Calgary excursion?
 Well, for all of this and more...look to the new Rounders message Blog! Access it directly from the "HOME" page behind this icon/display!
Rounders History and NEW Pictorials: Now don't just read  about our history, SEE some of it instead. Even listen to many past performances. Check out the new photo history slideshows on the "Rounders History" tab on your Rounders website.
Do you have great "old" photographs or links to add? Ok, even a good or poor one...then contact David Jamieson at jamieson.rounder@gmail.com for inclusion.
