So, all members of the Board take note! We are meeting on Tuesday, August 8, 2006 at Église St-Sixte at 6:30 PM. An agenda and starting time will be announced at the meeting tonight.

We welcomed Vittorio (Vito) Salvatore last Monday. He is a barbershopper who has moved to the Montreal area from BC, and he seemed to fit right in, so "Welcome, Vito!"

Talk to somebody about barbershop this week! Our target for members this year is for a 7 member NET INCREASE by the end of 2006.

Realtime announces a new CD.

Realtime is pleased to announce that we're nearing completion of our recording project, and that our second CD entitled "Ain't That A Kick" will be available in the early Fall! We took our time, to make this the very best CD we can make.

You can pre-order a copy now, to beat the rush. We'll give you FREE shipping anywhere in the US or Canada for pre-orders.

Here's the track list and some notes, just to give you a taste:

1. Come On Get Happy - an Aaron Dale arrangement of the theme from the Partridge Family
