If thats cheap enough I'll send in my check.

James,

Do you still have the laptop?

[janderson]

James,

Do you still have the laptop?

George has it. I did find the autx cash box and a powerstrip when I unpacked some boxes. If I don't go to the party I'll give that stuff to Mike S. at VIR

[wazzzup]

I have the laptop. I will bring it to the council meeting.

Folks..........

PLEASE give the Social Director a break and get your checks in ASAP and ON TIME. I don't have the time to chase after people.

ON TIME. There will be NO exceptions, so please do not ask. Thanks. [:)]

Laurie, you've got almost an entire month. <grin> Besides you should know by now, almost everyone waits until the last minute. [:))]

[LilRedCorvette]

Laurie, you've got almost an entire month. <grin> Besides you should know by now, almost everyone waits until the last minute. [:))]

I'm just giving fair warning now <grin> because I'm NOT going through this year what I went through last year. That was/is unfair to me.

Even George set a deadline for his Bavarian Chef dinner cruise as it, too, was a reservation-only ordeal. This is no different. I don't think my request is unreasonable [:)]

[jpatrick]

Laurie,

Don and I will give you a check Tuesday night. You know - - January 10th!!! [:D]
