The way Voice represented Region 21 like I see it, there are two opportunities for competition education – one is through competition participation the awesome champions they are and the other through competition observation. Though the benefits of both are plentiful, I’d like to discuss and we can’t say enough about further competition participation, as I believe learning by “doing” is a most powerful thing. SparX, Shimmer! and Razzcals! Competition participation is so misunderstood! We must always remember the real reason we compete. We’ll see you all in Hawaii! It’s not about placement; it’s not about winning; it’s not about a medal. YES, it IS wonderful to win, and it is Jean Kane was recognized for wonderful to receive a medal.

Membership Coordinator, Karen Ridout First, the good news for Region 21 – we have a new prospective chapter in Surprise, AZ. It’s exciting to have another membership growth opportunity in our region. Each and every one of you has the same opportunity to promote growth within your chorus. Although our rate of loss has slowed to 1.6% down from 2.4% the previous year, the Sweet Adeline organization is still losing members. Natural attrition is 20% a year. If one in four guests joins, you need 16 guests to gain four new members. It is our job to bring guests to help our organization flourish. Did you know we have a membership growth campaign in our region this year? It’s Laderman by Karen Photo the “GROW” Award: Golden West Region 21 Recruits and Retains Outstanding Women Singers.

Through an analysis of comradeship as the virtue of the quest, the hero’s identity within family, gender and geography becomes a function of access to ancestry. Morrison claims these elements and protagonist Milkman’s quest engenders an African American claim on the hybrid American mythology. Key Words: Song of Solomon, Toni Morrison, hero’s journey, quest narrative, quest genre, family, gender, geography, African American diaspora, mythology Table of Contents 1. Introduction 1 1.1 Research & Method 3 2. Mythology and an African American family 4 2.1 What is an idea virtuous? 6 2.2 Who is a virtuous hero? 7 3.

  • Fox Sports 1 Takes Viewers Into the Back of the Shop
    FOX SPORTS 1 TAKES VIEWERS INTO THE BACK OF THE SHOP New Series Captures Candid Barbershop Conversations between Current And Former Athletes and Entertainment Stars Snoop Dogg, David Ortiz, Albert Pujols, Dez Bryant, Robinson Cano and Many More Take Turns in Jordan’s Chair SNEAK PEEK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVrlztaBYZ0 New York – Since the 19th Century, the barbershop has been the quintessential American sanctuary for men to gather, get a haircut, get pampered, philosophize, gossip and talk sports. Floyd’s Barbershop in the 1960s TV hit The Andy Griffith Show, the hilarious barbershop scene in Coming to America, the 1988 comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, and the 2002 movie Barbershop featuring Ice Cube and Cedric the Entertainer are all fictional depictions of barbershops that come to mind for different generations. Later this month, FOX Sports 1 lifts the curtain on the BACK OF THE SHOP, where this generation’s superstar athletes talk smack, let their opinions fly, share hilarious stories and recount tales of past glory with some very special friends and a very special barber. BACK OF THE SHOP is a weekly half-hour series featuring some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment in a relaxed, casual and, until now, private atmosphere. The new series from FOX Sports Originals and Relativity Media is filmed at Jordan Sport Barbershop, located in the Bronx within a tape measure home run of Yankee Stadium, and is loaded with conversation like you’ve never heard before. The series premieres Saturday, May 24 (7:00 PM ET) on FOX Sports 1 before moving to its regular time slot on Tuesdays at 8:30 PM ET on May 27, airing each week as part of a block with THE PECOS LEAGUE (9:30 PM ET), another series from FOX Sports Originals.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.
