Guest guest Posted March 2, 2001 Report Share Posted March 2, 2001 I think your fundraising ideas will work well. Unfortunately we can't come this year b/c of a schedulig conflict but will make sure next year we keep our calendars free. I know that I would be willing to ask some of me friends and relatives for help. F. from WV (son- Dominic) --- magicrss@... wrote: > 'OK, you can tell I am too tired.
