If your number is drawn throughout the month of May, you get $50, unless it is on Saturday, in which case you get $100.  Please let me know how many tickets you want.  Janice and Terry, I have your pre-selected numbers.

The almonds come in a case of 60, which is heavy and hard to carry.  We might package them in bags of 20, which comes to $50 a bag.

Please bring money for your own ticket on Saturday, and if you have friinds who are coming, bring their money if you can.  Queen has already paid for a table of 8.  In addition to people to bid, we need items to bid on, so let us know what you will be bringing.

We will leave Las Vegas at 8:10 in the morning on July 13 and arrive at BWI at 3:45 our time.  There are two other group flights that leave in the evening and cost up to $50 less.  They are also nonstop.  If you are interested in any of those, let me know and I will get you in touch with Amber Woods.  Amber is in charge of those groups, and she has the right to set her own policies of what kind of payment to take when.
