Glad to see you are making it back this year, and we will welcome
Shirley and everyone else.
Thanks for volunteering. If Edy wants to coordinate the HT again,
perhaps we can coax you into coordinating another activity.
Edy, would you like to coordinate the HT again?

Yes, you were definitely missed last year. Sorry it was for such a sad
reason.
On the brighter note, your job of registrar was filled with temporary
help for last year. Oops, sorry Annie. :)
We need your bright smile to welcome our attendees, and you've always
set the example of what a classy lady should be.
The job is yours!

Let's lock the Pity Party in opposite the Limo Tour for Thursday
evening, so you can make arrangements.

Golf has been well attended and less stressful if not rushed for the
Limo Tour. Let's lock the Golf Tournament for Wednesday morning.

It would be great if you could please check on what type of dinner
they would be willing to arrange. Order off of the menu, limited
menu, buffet?
Are we open to the idea of a slot tournament that night?
Thanks Mindy.

That sounds like fun. Would that be in groups ranging from Goodwill to
Nordstroms?
