[Greenway-board] Re: NCMA trail event this Sat.

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Dave,

Son of a gun! I didn't know anything about this. I wonder if Sig 
Hutchinson had anything to do with this. Or perhaps someone else on the 
Board signed us up as a sponsor?

I'd sure like to get an information table there if possible. We could at 
least distribute some brochures. We are supposed to be working on the 
ATT on Saturday, but perhaps I could get away for this. I missed the 
grand opening last Monday. It would be great if one or more of us could 
attend this and set up something.

Anyone interested in attending this grand opening, and offering us some 
sort of presence?

Happy Trails,

Bill Bussey
