How do you tell when you've run out of invisible ink?
National Anthems tomorrow!
Tuesday, June 22 we will be singing the National Anthems of the U.S.A. and Canada to start the Expos vs Phillies game. Maybe we can start them on a winning streak. They can certainly use one! Tickets will be available for you and your guests at Monday evening rehearsal. Make sure you get yours.
Using previous occasions as a guide, I am guessing the time and meeting place are THE ADMINISTRATION ENTRANCE at Olympic Stadium (The Big Owe) at 5:30 PM.
Congratulations, Mark and Kelly!
Mark Lewis and Kelly Danaher are the proud parents of twin baby girls.
It seems hard to believe that Kelly was able to do it, but after a full term of carrying twin girls, she delivered Saturday morning, June 19, 2004. One weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces and the other was 7 pounds 11 ounces!
That is a whole lot of babies for any one. For the math geniuses among the readership, that adds up to more than 16 pounds of babies!
Congratulations to the proud parents. The new family is doing well.

Apologies for the bum directions.
As we all know by now, the Mini-Pitch contained erroneous directions to Place Kensington. It is at the Corner of Kensington and Ste-Catherine. That makes sense.
The next time we are going somewhere, check those directions.
Singout at Place Kensington.
Sometimes disaster comes in a basement room. I had a great deal of trouble hearing and tuning on Tuesday evening, and from the sounds around me, I wasn't alone.
Our audience was very appreciative and forgiving, so it wasn't a complete disaster, plus Commonly Unique were in great form, and had their part of the program well under control. Thanks, Ladies!
Here is our current repertoire list:
