Joe,
What ever you decide, just let me know if i am Canceling
2/14 event or not.
I saw on the weather this morning, not that Ch 3 is correct
all the time, but it looks like we are in for a big storm
and it may even wipe out Thursday. YIPES!
Have a super day!
Take care
and keep me in the loop, please.
Thanks
Terri
