[Nfbf-l] NFBF 2014 Cruisevention Cancelled

[Joe and Kitty King]

Dan:
What are the rules regarding the age of adults and children?  Just 
interested.  Joe and I had not yet signed up because of ongoing medical 
tests needed to be resolved before making a long-term commitment.

Concerning the Cruise Raffle Tickets - For what amount is the cruise 
coverage and for how many  days ? I am assuming the winner selects his own 
/her cruise line preference.
