HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE WENDEL WERNER NEWSLETTER #89


   
     Yes, I know...February's newsletter is a little early, but there is method in the madness. Some things have been scheduled for the end of January that I wanted everyone to be aware of. So, I'm not going to waste anytime getting this info to you. Here's February (and a little more of January):


WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2007

FOX DEN COUNTRY CLUB
6:30PM-9:30PM

Speaking of people coming to hear me at Cha Cha's, this is just what the manager of Fox Den's Country Club did. Before the evening was over, he was asking me for contact information. Within the next week, we had booked six friday nights between now and early March. This will be my first evening playing there. If you need directions, please go to: www.foxdencountryclub.com

Please come early, get some p izza, and enjoy Terry and me for the evening. for directions, please go to: www.pizzakitchen.com.
