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.

Dewey Song Family Fund Tournament
There will be a fundraising tournament for the widow and son of Dewey Song on Saturday, July 5th.
Registration will be at Sin Bin from 3:00 to 3:45, tournament starts at 4:00 and will be played at Sin Bin and Bulldog.
10,000 won entry fee. Double elimination tournament. Type of tournament will be determined by the number of players. If enough players register, it will be a blind-draw scotch-doubles tournament. If the numbers are small, it will be a singles tournament.
This is not an IPL tournament, so ratings will not be affected. The sole purpose of this tournament is to raise money for Dewey Song's widow and young son, therefore no prizes will be paid out to winners.
There will also be a donation box available at the bars, if someone is so inclined to donate additional money (The Shenanigans Boomtown Rats and the Shenanigans team have combined to donate 220,000 won, so I challenge other teams to match that sum).
Sin Bin will be donating 500 won per beer and house doubles bought by tournament players, as well.
Let's make it a fun day, and a charitable day.
