If you have any left over for a group to do, invite us to Perk Cafe on Saturday.

Adam and I need to be stoked with donuts and coffee.

- Geniuses -

Have stamps.

Will travel.

Thanks, Adam and ! The Perk would be a great idea...except no donuts

there...you would have to content yourself with cookies...I am sure you could

manage...BUT...

I believe that Pam and her family are actually planning on doing the

entire mailing (they are brave and intrepid souls, obviously!) and all

contributions of money and labor will be going to Western Springs, where the

family resides...Hey! ...maybe we can get a group of " bikers "

together in Western Springs and we can bike and then stuff envelopes, especially

since you and Adam are geniuses who travel...

If I understand this, you are wanting people to print out a double sided sheet,

with an address on one side, fold it, tape it, stamp it, and mail. I could do

100 if that will help.

I was going to send $50 on the 15th. Really can't afford more. If you prefer

I'll do the mailing. Let me know. Gloria

I think it is going to be easier for the three of us who volunteered to do the

printing, folding, stamping to just do it and any donations to offset the cost

would be welcomed...

Since Pam is doing a very large amount of the work, why don't you send your

contribution to her...Pam , 4511 Wolf Rd., Western Springs 60558.
