This all sounds great and you are making headway. I am fine with inviting
silver wood. I sent out emails and phone calls to the Red Cross, Salvation
Army, minnenonites, San Diego foundation and cristine and I will meet with the
Gillespie field people Monday. I also spoke with the optimist president and he
will talk to the club to cook and give away hot dogs. I will send out the
amended flyer on Monday.
We are moving forward!!
Thanks everyone,
Kathy
