This is the INDEX OF ARTICLES for the December 2006 issue of the
GUBOQS Gazette*, an independent pro-quartet publication. We publish
success stories describing regular quartet encouragement sessions
held during chapter meetings. We seek creative ideas which influence
SPEBSQSA members to try quartetting. SEND ONE FOR THE MARCH 2007 ISSUE/

Do your quartet sessions give every member an opportunity to sing
with three others at every meeting? Email me a one page article
describing your program. The target date for your article is11/25/06.

Thank you,
