From The Prez

One more rehearsal and then it’s Show time! We are sounding really good, I think. Let’s clean up those items Jimmy keeps hitting us on and have a great time next Saturday. Finally, have your Show outfit in mind and let us know this week so we can get everyone in his proper place. Until next week, KTTWS! SteveG

Publicity and Marketing

SteveW sent our last surge of Annual Show Poster emails Monday, August 7. Please follow through and send them on to yours.

And a Big Hats Off and Thank You to Ron Weaver, Bennie Malone, Drew Adams and Daniel Randolph for singing so well at the Chattanooga Ski Club's recent business meeting! Guys, you opened with "Blue Skies", and had them right there! They really appreciated your 4 songs, ending with "Mary Lou."

Then, my friend Jim Mullinex, an influential ski club Board Member, came up to me and said "Rich, you guys have to come sing at our Christmas Party!" This is potentially great news - they will have over 200. They don't have a date yet - the best for us is December 2, a week before our Christmas Show. This may be limited to a Registered Quartet. Thanks, RichW
