We'll drive to Arlington Saturday morning. Off topic: does your flight on Thursday connect up with the rest for the gang at PDX?

monkey Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 Nope, Egan and I fly into Dallas and then we meet up with the PDX boys CAN'T WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT! I need sun. I need sand. I need fancy drinks with umbrellas in them. I need to show John a thing or two about Rev flying. But, its looking more likely that I'll make it to Arlington now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penny Lingenfelter Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks Alan, I'd like one please. I followed a link that someone else sent to check the hotel. It didn't work. When I tried this one later, wala... I found it. So we've been booked in. Steve says I have to drive to avoid those $80 dollor tickets that make visiting your town so expensive. We'll see. Looking forward to it Allyn. BB Penny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kite Shoppe Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD BRING SOMETHING FOR THE BAG RAFFLE. Hi Alan! Scott and I were talking about it, and we have a Wren to donate to the cause! Also, we have some Flexifoil line sets to bring along for the bag raffle as well. Some of them retail for about $28, so a .50 cent ticket is a great deal for the winner. Hope you sell LOTS of tickets!! Question...do you need to be present during the drawing to be a winner?? See you soon! T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T GREAT... as long as you have a phone number on the ticket... we can call you if you win... good point. would you prefer the wren be a live auction item instead of a bag raffle? no worries Newtech sent us a couple air yo's (1 for demo and 2 for raffle) and a couple kites... lolly is planning to send a couple UFO's I hope. COlleen is making a quilt for the raffle... quilted pillows I believe. WE ARE ALSO THINKING OF DOING A TEDDY BEAR TOSS FOR THE LITTLNS ON SUNDAY. EVERY KID IS A WINNER.
