FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MAY BE LOOKING FOR A SUMMER TOURNAMENT  
EXPERIENCE IN TURKEY:
we at CSUSB found last summer's Koc University Invitational to be  
very helpful for our students indeed.
the following tournament announcement would be very worthwhile  
checking out if you have some summer travel money!!
