From Paul:
Hi guys!
Here's the plan for Tuesday: 
Tom Matchinsky is coming to coach Singing category Tuesday night. It is imperative that all active singers make every effort to attend. Call your friends.
From Doc:
Chord-Inator deadline is Friday, June 25.
Please submit your material on time of even earlier.
The choir director at my church, St. Joseph's in Hopkins, is anxious to have the Commodores return for a repeat performance at the annual Fall Festival Saturday mass on September 18. As of last Tuesday there were only three signed up (two leads and a bass). We need a director and 30 dedicated members to insure a creditable performance. Please help. 
I have made a tentative reservation for Saturday noon, September 11, at Dwan Golf Club in Bloomington for a golf outing. The cost is $41.00 for 18 holes and cart or $29.00 for walkers. Dwan is a relatively short Par 68 course that is easily walked. There is no required minimum number of players but we will be responsible for the number of golfers who agree to participate by Saturday, August 28. There will be a burger and bean meal following for $10.00. I will ask for a show of hands at chapter meeting.
I will be doing the Swipe next week also. Get your material to me by Monday morning.
The dress for the St. John’s performance Sunday is long-sleeved white dress shirt and dark trousers (preferably navy or black).

 Linda Speidel, Dave’s wife is scheduled to have a knee replacement on June 24th. Russ Pettis tells me that he has a couple of choices regarding the treatment of his rapid heartbeat and he’s considering which to choose. Dick Plaisted is residing at Benedictine Health Center at Innsbruck in New Brighton. His daughter tells me that he’s slowly improving and they anticipate a stay of about 3 weeks at Benedictine.

Please keep me informed about our sick and ailing members and remember them with your cards, calls and prayers.
