Penny,

I am so sorry this is late, but I have been away from my computer (on vacation in Chicago) and I just now checked back on the dinner. I see the money was due by June 30th, but I don't see where it should be sent. Am I too late, my friend and I are on the list? Thanks again and I am sorry for the delay.

[Amy]

I don't think Penny has finished making final arrangements. She'll notify us for payment.

[beachgirl]

I forgot, if at all possible can you add my sis? xoxox
I'm sorry...

An update has been added to my original post in this thread. Thanks everyone!

[beachgirl]

Thanks for the update Penny and for all your hard work. I'm sure it hasn't been easy. $35 sounds cheap! I can't wait!
Is pop like coke?

[Sharon (sdbrins)]

Thank you so much Penny!! Your the best.

WOW $35. is a great deal.

Penny, your a doll. Thank you for all your work.

[penny74]

Thanks guys, but ChiTownChick deserves a lot of credit. She is the one who found out that my #1 choice for places moved and now has a HUGE private room. Yay!

Sorry. Yes. Pop is soda.

[Trees]

Sounds like great Team Work to me

I've been keeping quiet about all of this, cause I'm not able to attend Yet I really have to say Penn watching the dinner evolve has, at times, felt like a white rapid canoe trip... Did I mention I was co-dependent ;D

The first "High Five" to you and Chi, with a little rock n roll

[ratdigger]

ChitownChick, your a doll also. And anyone else that helped,,your all dolls. Everyones dolls. Love you all!!!
thank you

[ratdigger]

Are we or where we suppost to send money yet for the dinner?

[Amy]

Has Penny worked this out yet? I think so, but she may not yet be ready to collect $$. I guess it all depends on whether the restaurant wants a deposit.

[penny74]

I'm still waiting on the contract from the restarant. Sorry - it is taking much longer than I anticipated. I will be asking everyone to send the money in advance of the dinner, so that I do not get stuck paying if a bunch of people don't show. As soon as I have details, they will be posted in the first post of this thread.

Thanks everyone!

Um, I'm not sure how to ask this.... after taking a friend off this list, I was kinda wondering if you could add a different friend (it's m8 from the Asylum, who's flying from the UK with me)?

I really don't want to irritate you about this, so if it's a problem, please just let me know.

Sorry to be a nuisance!

[chanvre]

Daaaaamn. This sucks!! I want to go SO bad.
You guys are going to have such a good time.

[penny74]

I updated the first post in this thread with dinner and payment info....FINALLY!

Everyone who has requested a change in RSVP up to this point has been accomodated. We cannot add anyone else to the list at this time...but if I do not get everyone's money or if people drop out, we may be able to fit more in if necessary.

Please post any questions about the dinner here, so everyone can see the question and answer. And so my PM box doesn't explode.

Thanks for your patience everyone and I can't wait to see you all!

Oh, please try to keep this thread just for RSVP changes and questions. Thanks!
