Notes
THANK YOU and your wives,
families, and Significant Others for all your work at the convention.
We received lots of great comments from many members, and we were
able to keep most of the minor "glitches" hiddece way to show
them that their champs are just regular people like themselves.
We don't yet have final financial figures, but should have done
well. The Marketplace sold about $3,400.00 in merchandise, and
we also get $1,000.00 from the District. The Harmony Foundation
raffle will end up contributing about $1,000.00 in the name of
the Pioneer Quartet Champions Association. Gr-r-r-reat! Thanks
to so many who worked so hard. And a special thanks to Lee Hanson,
Larry Parker, Dorn Burrill, Marv Burke, John Wearing, Paul Ellinger,
who stepped in and MC'd Friday night's contest with almost no
notice, Mike O'Donnell, Jim Horton, Neil Nugent, Cliff Dake, Rob
Pettigrew, and Sue Lewis who were leaders in every way. Don't
forget that for fall, we're singing JUST BETWEEN OLD FRIENDS and
BACK IN THE OLD ROUTINE. We did pretty well in our "warmup" at
convention, but all need to get these two songs down pat. Great
to see our current champs and International Senior Champs, Resisting
A Rest, all over everywhere all weekend. And congratulations to
our new District Senior Champs, Carte Blanche. Still looking for
two volunteers. 1. A "Quartet Development" chairman, who will
be a member of the Steering Committee. 2. Two people who will
volunteer to host our new champs through the maze of Hospitality
rooms in the fall. Could be a man/wife team. Please email me if
you are interested, or if you have someone you think would do
the job(s) well.

a note from the quartet...
To Our Barbershop Family
Well its been
a week now and we have come down (mostly) from our trip to Tampa,
Fl. We owe the Pioneer District a BIG thank you for all the support
and encouragement given to us as we reached for the Gold.
We are proud and humbled to be
the 2010 International Senior Champs from the Pioneer District.
A big Pioneer connection to the Senior Competition is the Big Pitchpipe
traveling trophy presented to the new champs. The Mark Roberts trophy
was created by a Grosse Pointe member and with the Grosse Pointe
sponsorship was donated at the first Intl Senior Competition in
1986 by than Society Board Member Jim Gougeon, also a Grosse Pointe
member. Resisting A Rest is thrilled to have been able to bring
the trophy home to Pioneer.
Also a Big thank you for the largest
Pioneer representation at a Mid-Winter, we heard you when we took
the stage that Friday, you are the best. Again THANK YOU from Resisting
A Rest and see you in Kalamazoo this spring Tom Conner Lead
Resisting A Rest.
