Dc trip

T286

Our tours are starting to firm up. Our Capital tour is set for 10:10 am on Friday. Still waiting for confirmation on White House, Supreme Court, Federal Bureau of Engraving and Printing and the Kennedy Center. Michelle Pop is looking for a mom(s) to share a hotel room near where we are camping. Michelle’s email is michelle.m.popp@us.hsbc.com if you want to reach out to her directly.

________________________________________________________________

Mark,

Please pass along to moms going on DC trip. I am interested in sharing a room with several moms. The prices aren’t too bad. Let me know as soon as possible who would be interested in rooming with me.

Popcorn pickup

We have contacted Council and have been informed that Trails End has shipped and still is on its way. With the weather being so bad and the thruways still closed, there is a chance that the deliveries may be delayed. We will know more tomorrow. With that said, we are just going to wait to see if our stock comes in for pick up in Niagara Falls. I was told emails would go out tomorrow to confirm yes or no and I will advise immediately.

Another additional note: White Cheddar will NOT be coming in with this pick up order. All White Cheddar will be delivered at a later date directly to our home due to a production delay. We should have that date when we pick up the Take order this Friday and we will send out a message when that will be in stock. Sorry for the delay on that one folks.

More to come…stand by.
