Set aside the mundane reality of adult life and with childlike wonder, relive the g-force terror, the smiles of good natured carnies, the heavy smell of deep fried sugary things, camp-tacular entertainment, and of course, water related falling! All this and more at..... VALLEY FAIR vs. SVTC SVTC has arranged for a discounted admission: $20.00 per person. Please send your check to Tim Ahern before June 27. Please include your name and email with your payment, so email confirmation can take place.
SEND CHECKS PAYABLE TO:
TIM AHERN........
Tim Ahern We will meet at the group
sales bldg. at 10:00 a.m. to pass out tickets. UPDATE... As of Thursday night...I have 12 tickets sold.4 more on the way?. Unless we sell at least 9 more we have to pay full price at valley fair. (About 10-15$ more)
The discount will only happen with 25 people
buying tickets. No checks have been cashed yet, and all will be returned
if we fall short of 25.
We expected a greater turnout. I was hoping this email would not be necessary but, now it is. I think however the event should go on as planned. I will send an email update on Saturday. If you can get additional people together who will pay $20....let me know by Saturday. (but, just pay me cash at valley fair, its too late for mail now) If we make 25....I will write a single check to valley fair from my account. (their policy)
I apologize for this glitch. I was hoping for
smooth sailing but its going to go down to the wire....I hope people won't
cancel if full price is unavoidable.

north and west suburbs could carpool, by meeting at the Mall at Anderson

Summer is the hardest time on families because kids are not receiving free or reduced meals at school-making the family budget tighter. Families then must turn to their local food shelf. We would love to stock the food shelves so that children won't go hungry this summer and your help at this drive would be greatly appreciated!
