<font face="Corbel">Hello Everyone.<br>
<br>
I have a couple of things to talk with you about, so instead of
sending out numerous emails, I'll just put them into one.<br>
<br>
Okay, you all know about our Murder Mystery by now, A Party to Die
For. And you know that this is a fundraiser for the Kanabec Area
Chamber Foundation (making your donations tax deductible). <i>AND
</i>as in the past, we are asking for your generous donations! You
will be receiving a call from any of the Chamber Board Members
asking you for your donations. Though we take much enjoyment from
participating in and all that the play entails, there is a purpose
for it and it is to raise funds for our foundation. <br>
<br>
As the organization grows and continues being established, we have
a focus as our mission statement addresses:<br>

The Murder Mystery event begins at 5:pm on Feb. 22nd at Bowe's.
It's a Halloween Costume Party with an underlying theme of the
history and removal of Mora's haunted feed mill. <br>
We hope that you will not only please give generously - you will
also attend! Bring family, friends, co-workers. Send employees for
a night on the town! <i>It WILL be an event that is talked about
for a remarkably long time ~</i><br>
<br>
<i><big>I did say that I had a couple of items to address. Here's
number 2:</big></i><br>
<br>
If any of you have an idea for a business special that you would
like to present during the Vasaloppet weekend (Feb. 6th - 9th),
and you'd like to have a coupon or promotion that would go into
the Vasaloppet Racer's Packet, will you please let me know? This
is a great opportunity to get people into your businesses. I would
like to ask that you let me know your idea first, we can discuss
your best options to make this as easy as possible for the bag
stuffers in the Vasaloppet HQ. I'm trying to get a feel for what
you may like and how many of you are interested!<br>
<br>
Thank you for taking the time to read all of this - and for your
consideration. Have a great weekend!<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
Karen.<br>
