Re: Geek Dinner

[Jill Bonino <aistreas@earthlink.net>]

John,

I'll run Kitty's program, collect the money and tally everything for you, Joanne and Michelle.  

I have smaller brooch findings that I will stitch for  two maybe three iris pins for the auction...Not as expensive and not as long to stitch but they might bring in as much as one large pin.  

It just won't be the same without you!

Jill
