Queens,
Hope you have been reading, cause our meeting is only 10 days away, a week from Wed. My eye surgery went well, I am beginning to read some (obviously if I'm sending email) Don't know if I can finish the book so I will be relying on y'all for discussion with David Greenwood for his SKYPE interview.
You should have received an email from Val for food orders if you haven't you can contact her at: valeriesm@aol.com or 337-302-1978
Laurie: will you forward this to Jenny Wallace so she can see that food is ordered for any queens that are coming and wish to eat. Thanks.
Time to BOOGIE FOR BOOKS - Sat May 21 : We will be in the Literacy Council Tent. Each volunteer will receive a T-shirt We will also wear our tiaras and our PQ name badges. We will be helping with face painting, ticket sales, info on Literacy and book swap, and maybe other things. If you have books you want to swap out, bring them.

Remember you can purchase other items through Amazon.com besides books! You might consider ordering extras of Kathryn's and M L's books for gifts, in fact, when I asked they prefer that you purchase books in advance so they don't have to deal with sales.
We met our goal - Amazon commissions are $101.63!!! Erin bring your raffle ticket to the meeting and I'll give you a check.
