School's out for summer!  Just another month for us working stiffs (unless your lucky enough to be a teacher) - but hey, at least the weather is warmer.

Couple of items I wanted to draw your attention to on the weekly calendar of events.

1. 13 & under - Yu-Gi-Oh! tournaments.  Our annual tradition continues - this year, we will be hosting these events at the Granville store at 2:30pm on Thursday afternoons starting July 3rd.  These are official Hobby League events.
2. AT-43 Tuesdays and Maplestory Wednesdays at the Victoria Dr. store are continuing to pick up steam.  Come in for a demo.
3. Warmachine / Hordes - Summer Rampage starts in late July.  "Once again, western Immoren shakes beneath the might of rampaging armies as the war-torn kingdoms of WARMACHINE clash with the savage threat of the wild HORDES™. Fire up your warjacks and rile your warbeasts to prepare for the next round of Summer Rampage!" Join the league Thursdays and Saturdays at the Victoria Dr. store, this is going to be huge!
4. NO World of Warcraft at Granville on Saturday July 5th.  For those of you that tried to attend the Hunt for Illidan Sneak Peak on Saturday - Cascade Games has offered you free entry into the WoW Regionals in Seattle on the 5th.  There is also the Magic PTQ Berlin event and the Pokemon Nationals event on the 5th if your looking for a game in town.

Changes are highlighted:
