Ok gang, I spoke with Becky (our contact at the Seattle aquarium for event reservations) on Friday and I guess she mentioned to Linda that I wanted to find out about donating money to the aquarium. I could give Linda a call on Friday. Does anyone else want to participate? Becky also informed me that December is fully booked but they are taking reservations for NEXT December!!! She says we have a little leeway time before we need to save a spot since we have our meetings during the week. But then again, maybe we want to reserve it on a weekend day and advertise and we might bring in a lot of families that way..... ***Note (as you all know) that reserving the aquarium will cost a fair amount but it may be worth it for a party with the fish!.... ha ha :) ........ we'll have to do a good job advertising. Becky is going to send a receipt acknowledging that we have paid through June. Extra time can be charged on a case by case basis... BTW Erik, I picked up one of those scanners at radio shack and dutifully signed myself up for the upcoming onslaught of junk mail.... :) > ---------- > From: Linda Dickson[SMTP:ldickson@aquariumsociety.org] > Sent: Monday, October 30, 2000 2:32 PM > To: Scott.Cartwright@PSS.boeing.com > Cc: Lori Montoya > Subject: Introduction > > Hi Scott: > Allow me to introduce myself.
