Announcements
Lion Lauri announced that the Murder Mystery dinner (MMD) plans were forging ahead, but that we were still in need of Table Decorators, Raffle Prises, wine, and Ticket sales. It was decided at our committee meeting that we will be giving away crates of wine throughout the evening instead of giving all the wine to one person. On Friday we had sold 168 tickets, but more are coming in just about every day.
