We have cancelled shows midway through the agenda, but I do not recall ever having to call it the day before. The weather forecast called for nasty, nasty amounts of rain that would have pulled shoes off more than ring crew volunteers, so the Board went to the side of caution. It was not as bad in my area, as expected, but that torrential downpour around noon would have ruined the second half of the show.

The good news is: we will have a make-up show on Sunday Sept 13th. It is a good thing we left that date untethered to any other event this year.

The other good news is: If you have not yet bought your Membership, you can still pick it up in July. Suzanne will, once again, be manning the membership table and be more than happy to take your money. Since we still have three shows to go, qualifying for Year End points is still an option.

I think Jackie F is still in need of someone to join Victoria in the entry side of the booth for July. If you know how to add by 10’s or can type names into a spread sheet, PLEASE let us know BEFORE hand, so we can get you the basic info you need ahead of time. The busy times are the hour before the English starts, and the pre-lunch rush for the afternoon.

Have you sent your Year End Thank You cards yet? I have heard from a couple of fellow sponsors and they inquired if, or when, they would receive theirs. One sponsor mentioned they also were on the sponsorship committee for their local club. She got better merchandise from one of the sponsors, than a complimentary show, as they made sure Thank You cards went out. If you can’t get a picture printed, head to Walmart. I have used their Kiosk and if I can make it work, so can you! It is inexpensive, quick and easy, even for me. Shoppers Drug Mart sells stamps.

The July weather had better be perfect. See you then!
