THANKS, Therese!!! I'm going to need a ride to and from. I'm watching fares and they're still around $302. They dropped one day a coupe of weeks ago, but I didn't want to commit until I knew for sure what was going to be going on. I found out at the annual meeting, so I'm hoping they'll drop again!!! Can't wait to see everyone!!!

We are getting some great donations from vendors. I am donating a blue chinchilla print infinity scarf from ChinChic (http://chinchic.bigcartel.com/product/custom-chinchilla-infinity-scarf). ChinChic is also donated an ebony Floofie, her stuffed animal/chinchilla for people (http://chinchic.bigcartel.com/product/gray-floofie-fabric-deposit-holidays). Kleenmama is donating a very generous gift certificate for their products and Amy from F&O Loofah is donating some nice loofah items for chins. I hope to have more great stuff for the raffle. Thank you to everyone so far for donating!
