[Md-sligo] Chapter events

Thu Sep 10 12:23:36 UTC 2015

Hi all,

The sooner you know what auction items you are bringing, the better. I
would like to get the descriptions written earlier this year, so we can
post them to the list. If you could e-mail me the descriptions, it would be
even better. If you have  items on Saturday, I will take them. I know we
are all busy, but I know Sligo will come through. Thanks for your help.
