Dear Friends:

Greetings from The Royalaires!  Susan, Michelle and I wanted to update you on some exciting events:

• Westfall Gospel Sing April 18-19, 2008 (again, the concert had to be postponed due to the inclement weather in Ohio in March),
• Royalaires Trip to Scotland June 18-24, 2008
• Singing at Sea Cruise, February 9, 2009 (Next Year!)
• As always, you can check our website – theroyalaires.com for our concert schedule. We hope that you will join us in a concert as we sing for the glory of our Lord!

We are blessed just looking at the wonderful titles to the songs!  We’ll let you know as soon as the project is available. 

Westfall Gospel Sing, APRIL 18-19, 2008

As always, we are excited about this wonderful annual event held at the Westfall High School, Route 56, Mt. Sterling, Ohio.  Due to the date change (because of the weather), some of the singers on the original schedule were unavailable.  The new schedule is as follows:

Friday, April 18, The Kingsmen, Tribute Quartet, Michael Combs, Freemans, Galloways, and the Greens will be singing. 

The Royalaires will be performing on Saturday night, April 19, along with The Triumphant Quartet, Michael Combs, Palmetto State Quartet, New Found Road, and Angelina & Route 77. 

This is always an awesome event.  You can find out more details about the event and purchase tickets by emailing Jerry at jerrymetzler123@aol.com or by calling him at (614) 668-3836.  Tickets are $15.00 in advance or $17.00 at the door.   

Royalaires Trip to Scotland

The Royalaires are planning a trip to Scotland June 18 through 24, 2008.  This will be our second trip to Scotland and we look forward to the ministry opportunities presented in this lovely country.  The people love our music and make us feel so welcomed and appreciated.  We have raised almost all the money needed to make the trip, thanks to the generous donations of our friends.  If any of you would like to participate by sending a donation, we would be deeply grateful.  I may even come home owning a kilt!  Oh, perish that thought, but we are looking forward to having that “wee spot-o-tea” with our dear friends in Scotland.

Singing at Sea Cruise, February 9, 2009 (Next Year!) 

Just want to remind you to start saving your money for the NEW Templeton Cruise scheduled for February 9, 2009.  The ship will be the Carnival Inspiration, with stops at the Grand Cayman Islands and Cozumel, Mexico.  The Inspiration is a much larger ship and holds about 700 more people than the Carnival Holiday.  We want you to mark your calendars NOW for February 9, 2009, and start planning to share a wonderful week with us on The Inspiration.  Because of the larger ship, Jeff Templeton has combined the Singing at Sea Cruise and the Jubilee at Sea Cruise into one huge cruise!  We are looking forward to seeing you on this cruise next year!

Well – this has been a lot of news to share.  Hope you stuck with us to the end because we just want to say:

We are STILL “Drinking from our saucer, for our cup has overflowed!” 

 May God Bless You All,

 Jerry and Susan Metzler and Michelle Davis
