Re: [GSAS-Member] Pan Intercorp tour?

["Betty Goetz" <haika@drizzle.com>]

Thanks! I'm just learning about Pan Intercorp and didn't catch a spring
auction note on the website....but I didn't dig VERY deep.

I think my baby koi that have been outside are going to have to find a
place inside. It's too cool for them to be interested in eating, it
appears. Now....to find room for another tank downstairs!
