And a great big thank you to Julie for doing this. I'm off to Cleveland
in a few hours.
Mike Stanley threw in what I owed him, and we had another donor bump it

toys and postage. If anyone else wants to donate, please let me or Julie
know ASAP as she is shopping I think today or tomorrow at the latest.
