We have Gina 12, Nancy W 25, Ethel 16,  Ally 40, Pat 30, Sue 30 and Susan 30 on the 15th, that's 183

Then we have Birdie 50, Natalie 15, Jodi 15, me 20.  for the 31st of May That's 283

The Chaplain estimated 300.  I will double check on the figures.  But I could use one or two more helpers for the 31st.

Kelley, Put me down for 15. I'll try for more. My mom(who's 89) is going to start working with me on making the pcs during our weekly get together. My dad was a Seabee in WWII so this will have an extra special meaning to my mom. Please put me down for the 31st.

We will be finished with this group at the end of May, unless they tell us they need more.  So June 15 is not necessary.

I have another group in the wings if someone needs to wait until June.

I can do the last 17, if you still need them. Are there any females?

Yes, there are a few, but no more than a dozen I think.

Kelley,

I am probably going to make an adjustment on Gina's and I have another one that I will confirm with.  Will let you know.

Hi Kelley,

please change Gina to 12 and add Nancy W for 25.   Nancy and Susan are   newbies who come from the Country Woman article.

Gina is a teacher at a school and the kids make colorful tie dyed ones.  so I am having her mail some the CLB-4 since I need a few more.  Then both groups will get some of those.
