RE: Question about a Public Show

["Hess, Clay A" <clay.a.hess@boeing.com>]

Kathy,

Ok....I am not sure we would have to do a lot with the planning and
such...but, I was thinking we could help get sponsorship for some of the
categories and such.  And, I am sure we have enough members to do that.  

So, maybe, I should have asked if you would be willing to enter some fish in
the show?

Clay
