As the summer heats up, so have ticket chance sales on the Orange Beach Condo. Thanks in part to a great phone campaign, our classmates have been buying chances to win that stay in the fabulous condo that Gary Malin has offered up and now with the window of opportunity opening wider, those of you with established vacation plans through the end of the year still have the chance to enjoy this vacation destination in the spring as well.
Additionally, the planning for the 45th is proceeding apace with offers of help in a variety of areas. Among them is from Ed (Ralph) Branch, out in CA, who has offered to help consolidate accommodations planning to get us some group rates for those of you requiring places to stay while in town. This can mean considerable savings at some of our local hotels convenient to the Westside. Arranging this is somewhat "chicken and egg" since part of doing this involves knowing the who, what, when, and where details of the event, and we all know that none of this is etched in stone except the anchor event on September 8, 2012. All the associated activities we are thinking about are all in some stage of planning but are not nearly firm enough to satisfy all the obsessive compulsives on the committee. I think Linda is planning a committee meet later this month to start divvying up some necessary tasks. Of course, much of the surrounding activities are organized by other groups who have not yet made their own plans public yet.
And like the guy on TV is fond of saying "but there's more!" but that will have to wait till next time.
