Update 8/27/12

just wanted to make sure you were aware of the recently completed URBEE Documentary; 2.5 years in the making by producer and film-maker, Doug Howe.

The URBEE story will Premiere in Winnipeg today, Tuesday, August 28th. Expected to be a rather fun event, your Invitation is attached below (come early, as there is rush seating).

The Documentary will also be available soon on DVD. Please let me know if you're interested in a copy, and we'll put you on our waiting list (certain restrictions apply before we can release the DVD format).

I've also attached a file that describes what happened with URBEE last year, in 2011, in case you hadn't seen all of that (the 'WOW! document below).

Also a photo of Doug and I promoting his Documentary on Breakfast Television, yesterday morning, at The Forks in Winnipeg.

Exciting stuff.

And quite a Big Deal for all of us involved in this important project.

Thanks for your continued interest and support.

Cheers. Jim Kor
