I wanted to let all know that all matters related to the show are falling into place thanks to much needed help from my sons Ben and Matt as well as my good friend Melinda Adams, publicist Pauline Russell and Tom Mullane.

Tom just got the auction photos up this on the website. This will largely be a no reserve auction preceded by a dessert party on Saturday night. We are expecting another 20-25 lots.

Thanks to a kind hearted donor we will be holding our first ever pizza party on Thursday night at 6 pm.

The hotel has agreed to extend the deadline for getting the show rate of $115 per night until all rooms are sold out. YOU MUST CALL THE HOTEL DIRECT at 919-677-1840 to get the rate, group code is TPS. Call me with any questions 614-619-5025.

Pauline has arranged for a live at noon interview on the Raleigh TV station WRAL, on Thursday, June 5. Jim Mamoulides will be interviewed regarding the hobby and the show. Many thanks to Jim for taking on this task!

The Ohio show is scheduled for November 6-9, 2008. Please mark you calendar. Pauline will be helping us there as well.

As a final note, I want to thank those who were able to attend the memorial service for Sonya. I appreciated getting all of the cards, letters, emails and phone calls as well.

Hold your loved ones close, Terry
