[THC] First Annual UpCup -- Ten days of celebrating Upland's 10th anniversary

[Linda Swihart]

Hey THC people -- Caleb Stanton has asked that I pass this along.  It's 
just one more good reason to visit Bloomington.  College athletic 
rivalries aside, IU is a credit to Indiana and Bloomington is a very fun 
place to visit.  Since Naomi moved there I've had more reason to 
familiarize myself with the place, and I wish they'd move the whole 
place a little closer so I could visit more often!  :-)

(The competition is not ten days long!  But it sounds like a fun ten 
days is shaping up.)

Here's Caleb's Message ------------------

Hello everyone,
 
Please forward the following along to all your members or interested 
parties. If I missed any homebrew clubs I apologize in advance, please
