Thanks Pat, I'll pass this on to Leni. We can cover the flyer and
make the cart after you get the CDs from them, and I'll talk to Leni
about having someone help stuff the FFS newsletter with Carl. But I
don't see an answer in your e-mail to the question about the sound
equipment. Do they bring their own, or do you have any? If we can
avoid having to pay someone extra to do this it would be great, and
since its only one duo (not several groups), it shouldn't be too
complicated (but then I'm definitely not experienced in those areas).
If you could send an announcement to the Bee it would be appreciated.
Don't they have an upcoming events section in one of their daily
issues?
