Subject: Mermaid update Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2003 11:10:58 -0700 To: Bonnie Scott , From: James Lesczynski Everything is coming together. Nic bought up a stash of long= rifle-style squirt guns at Odd Job Trading, so that we can all= drill in style on Saturday. Dawn has received orders from= several of you for the aqua scrub pants that will form the base= of the costumes (along with white tee shirts, which you must get= on your own). If you're not getting green or aqua pants on your= own, please email Dawn at dfox30@yahoo.com with your size and= ask her to get you a pair. Dawn and Nic would each like people to be reimbursed for the cost= of these costume accessories. The long water guns are $7,= including tax, and the scrub pants are about $11. Both Dawn and= Nic shopped around and got us very good bargains. Dawn called a= lot of uniform and surgical supply stores to get the best price.= Nic found the water rifles at a closeout discount store; I've= been looking for the same thing for about a week, and the lowest= price I saw was $15, so Nic got us a real deal. Bonnie may also= need a few bucks in reimbursement for materials. If cash it= tight for anyone right now, please don't worry about it. We (I)= will cover the cost; the important thing is that you participate= and enjoy yourself, but if you can help defray these incidental= expenses, it would be appreciated. FYI, I sent out the press release yesterday. Thanks to everyone= who gave input. The final version is here: http://www.manhattanlp.org/news_files/PR-6.htm This is looking like it's going to be a really fun event! I can't= wait! Jim
