This is the call for papers for the June 2009 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.

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 is two
weeks from today.

Thank you,

Casey Parker
Editor
