I would like to remind you of the WSSG. The badminton tournament will
be held Aug 3 in Tacoma, run by Joe Moelders. www.pugetsoundgames.com
This will be the qualification tournament if you want to go to the
National Sr Olympics in San Francisco in '09.

After several of us having tried for about 10 years to get the World
Huntsman Games in St. George to include badminton, they are finally
going to give it a try this year! The Games will be held from 10/6-
18, with badminton 10/13-14. This will be Utah's State Games, so it
will also be a qualifying event for the National St Olympics. So, if
you are unable to make the tournament on August 3, you could qualify
for Nationals in ST George. Or, you could play and qualify in both. I
have been to the Huntsman Games several times, and it's a wonderful
experience! They do a great job. I hope that a lot of you will be
able to support it. To have one of their entry brochures mailed to
you, you can call the toll free # 800 562 1268 or their website is
www.seniorgames.net. If you DO decide to enter the Huntsman Games,
there is a space on the entry form that says "Bring a Buddy". It's
for those who've never entered the Huntsman Games before to put in
the name of the person who has entered before and told them about it,
and that person will receive a $10 gift certificate for the gift
shop. I'd appreciate it if you would put my name in that space. I
hope that a lot of you will attend and support it. I guarantee you
won't be disappointed.

Thanks again for supporting the Northwest Sr Games. Joyce
