Dewey Song family fund
Sad news for the IPL. Dewey Song, one of the original members of the IPL, and consistently one of the top ranked players died of a stroke June 23rd while at the hospital for his dialysis treatment.
Services were held for him on the 23rd and 24th of June.
Dewey is survived by a wife and a young son. As you all know, the death of a spouse or a parent is a heart-breaking thing. It can also cause quite a financial burden for the surviving members of the family. With this in mind, the Itaewon Pool League (after consulting with the team captains) was happy to give the banquet raffle ticket proceeds to Dewey's widow and son (850,000 won). We would like to raise some more money for this family of one of our own. Therefore, we are providing two accounts for people to be able to contribute to this cause.
For international donations, of for those of you without a Korean bank account, please send any donations to the following PayPal account:
PayPal - jumieahn(.a.t.)yahoo(.d.o.t.)com
For those of you with Korean bank accounts, please send donations to:
KB Bank, Account Number 026402-04-150679 [the name is Ahn Jumie (IPL)]
As I said, I hope that we can, as a league, help the family of one of our own, Dewey Song, by generously giving to this cause.

Awards Banquet
It's that time of the season for our end of season awards banquet. Here are the details:
End of Season Awards Banquet:
Friday, June 13th
7:00 - 10:00 pm
Crown Hotel
Per usual, there will be a scrumptious buffet, free booze, wonderful raffle prizes, team awards, individual awards, and a few surprises.
There will be a 50/50 raffle draw, with other prizes thrown in. The money raised will be set aside to be combined with next season's raffle money. At the end of next season, we will donate the money to a worthy cause. This cause is yet to be determined, but it will be worthy.
Any player who has played at least one game this season can attend the banquet for free.
Non-league guests are welcome, but must pay 30,000 won.
Non-league players will not be permitted to 'take the place of' a non-attending league player. And we will know, so don't even try it. The executive committee has memorized the name and face of everyone who has played even a single game this season.
It promises to be a rollicking good time, so come early to get a table for your team.
