***Important - More Info on GF Tea

[Linda]

Hi!

It is me again I have more information on the Tea at the Grand on Friday 11/30/01 we have the Tea Room to ourselves from 12:30 to 2pm – since we are a group we have to do one thing just a little differently. We have to pre-order from the menu as they will specially prepare the food for our little festivity. You DO NOT need to make the decision right now. I will however post the menu selections below so you can start thinking about it. At Event registration I will have special forms for you to fill out and confirm your reservation as I must turn in the selections 48 hours in advance to convention services. This is not a prepaid event; you still settle your own bill after tea. I’m pretty sure you can choose your tea type when you arrive.

Thanks!

Thanks, Linda. I'm going to need the next few weeks to make a decision. Even thought I am leaning towards the Grand Tea. I know it's a bit much, but it sounds like it has a bit of everything and I wouldn't have to pick and choose.
