I've posted the message onto the DC yahoo list. If you'd like to be added, I can request that as well, but I need an e-mail address for you.

I don't know how many of us can be there---I will be entertaining family on that day, and at least one of our members nad her husband is out of state at the moment. I truly appreciate your kind offer---and I am so excited at the possibilites of working with you! Thank you for extending the offer and making yourself available for us--I know the rest of the grove appreciates this as well. :)

Hugs!
