Eddie,
I don't know if the extended family has had the opportunity to listen to this demo our cousin Chris Sierra wrote and sings. It's dedicated to my Brother, Arturo. I was wondering if you could put this in the website so others could listen to this beautiful song.
Thanks,
Buggs

Free Phone Service!
Here's what you need to know:
Does your phone look like this?
Then you have VoIP!
Look times are tough. I've been looking at this particular product for about 6 months now and the price dropped on it so I'm letting you know.
See for yourself at www.OOMA.com
And you can purchase it from tigerdirect.com (I love this place and have been getting stuff from here for years and its not to far from my house.)
Direct link to the product page by click here
You may already have VOIP!
Other VOIP providers -
Your local cable company offers you a bundled service - TV, Phone, & Internet. The phone is VOIP service.

- You have to have a broadband/Hi-Speed internet like DSL or cable serivce.
- You have to buy the adapter.
- The adapter cost is $210.
- You use your existing telephone.
OOMA is a Voice-over-Internet-Protocol or VoIP. VoIP is a service similar to your regular telephone service you buy from your local phone company. The difference is instead of using the phone line into your house from the street, it uses your internet connection.Why is that better than my regular phone?
Costs. Lots of people enjoy a hi-speed internet connection. That connection can be used for so much more than downloading email and watching youtube. The FCC and state regulatory bodies impose fees, taxes and charges that are passed to the consumer. Ever wonder how you buy a $40/mo phone plan and the bill ends up being $60 after taxes and fees? Me too. (My DSL connection from AT&T is $35/month that's it, no fees, no taxes, no crap.) Why not share that connection with your phone and save $$$$$$$.Check where you work & you are probably already using VOIP! Why? Because it's cheaper. (there is a difference between the service they have and the one I'm explaining).

QC Wind Ensemble Concert March 15
On Sunday, March 15 at 3:00pm, QC Wind Ensemble will have their winter concert. This year we are having this concert at the Moline High School auditorium. I'm inviting all of you to come and enjoy an afternoon of great music. Our theme is 'dance tunes', including one of my all time favorites-Divertimento by Vincent Persichetti and the well known Four Dances from "West Side Story" by Leonard Bernstein. The highlight of our concert will be our guest performer Ronald Romm. Ronald Romm is renowned founder of the Canadian Brass and will be playing four tunes with us on trumpet. He is an increditble artist and I promise you have seen nothing like him in person! I truly hope to see you there! Students and children are free, adults are $5.00.
Thank you!-Bianca Gibbs
