Yes, just yesterday Irvine called.  Considerably lower than Lafayette 
Limo. Good for as long as the vehicle (22-passenger van, pro driver) is 
available, 184$.

If we have 10 people this is <$19 per person and then I think we are 
supposed to tip too. 

I'm hoping that members get a discount, and the board would need to 
decide about that.

I'm bringing the topic up tonight during our meeting.

Does anybody know if Winterfest tix are available at LBC yet?

(Alan you're bringing the membership forms and cards, right?)

NOTE -- the "Teach a  Friend" participants receive their 2010 
memberships as a part of that deal
Eric
Jeff
Justin
Gilbo
Chuck
(and yes there is supposed to be a bucket-lid-airlock for those 
participants who need them; we/I just keep forgetting to get them!)
