Re: August Trade Show

**j* e* m* s* <h*@sbcglobal.net>**

Hi, Doreen -- I'm planning on driving up on Wednesday, Aug. 20, 
hoping to get there early to mid afternoon, going to the trade show, 
receptions ... are you going to the Proven Winners one? ... possibly 
staying all night with my friends in Elmhurst and driving back the 
morning of the 21st...or possibly back the night of the 20th, don't 
have that part completely worked out yet.

I called Lisa B and left a message. Do I need to contact Clint Albin, too?
