Midwest
Alec, Claire, Emma J.R., Emma W., Harrison, Laura, Marie, Michaela, Peter, and Jonny
Here is the plan:
We will leave Friday the 22nd at either 5 or 7 pm and fly (yes fly - it turns out to be slightly cheaper or the same price for the small amount of fencers we have attending) to Chicago Midway airport. We will stay at a hotel by the airport that night. A bus (which will be paid for our of our transportation budget) will take us to Culver Saturday morning (118 miles). The first event starts at 10:00 so we won't have to get up too early, plus you can sleep on the bus. We will fence and then take a bus back to Chicago. There are flights out that night, but we're hoping you will fence well and then we would miss our flights, so we are flying out first thing Sunday morning.
Cost - The airfare at this time is around $213.80. - plus baggage fee for your fencing equipment.
You'd pay for your share of hotel. - There are 6 girls and 4 boys. We can squish in room of 3 and 4 or go in 2's, let me know what you want to do. I haven't chosen a hotel yet, but it should be around $100/night for 2 nights/room -
You'll also be responsible for your food.
I need your legal name to book your ticket, you will be billed by SPA for the ticket and hotel. Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks!
PS - Someone please forward this to Harrison, he has neglected to give me his email address. - Thanks!

It's That Time of Year Again!
Dear Family and Friends,
The 5 of us are walking to support animals this year. This is Owen's first animal walk. Last we raised over $1000 and hope to do the same this year. Donations are due by May 1st, we'll send out a reminder closer to the date. We'll have a pool party this July for everyone who donates. It was a lot of fun last year and we hope to see you all again!
I recently accepted the challenge to raise funds to support Animal Humane Society's 2009 Walk for Animals. This annual event in Golden Valley, MN aids Animal Humane Society's five Twin Cities area facilities and helps support programs serving nearly 40,000 animals per year. This year, the need is as great as it has ever been. Animals also suffer the effects of tough times and this is exactly the time when our commitment must be at its strongest. Please help support me and the animals by contributing generously. For information about the Walk for Animals or the Animal Humane Society and its programs, click here.
It is faster and easier than ever to support this great cause by making your tax-deductible donation online. If you would prefer, you can mail your contribution to me at the address listed below.
Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Sincerely,
Jenni, Bob, Owen, Murphy and Boomer Blat
