Mid-Month Newsletter

Hello Mid South Scrappers ~

I've got a couple of quick updates for you ...

All Day and Into the Night Crops - At this time there is not an "All Day and Into the Night Crop" scheduled for July as I'm looking for another venue to host it. The hotel did negotiate with me, if you can call it that, by reducing the rate by a whole $25! That's a drop in the bucket compared to their increase. I've already checked out a couple of the other hotels near that Holiday Inn and their Meeting Rooms are just too small. The Pickering Center and the Homebuilder's Association are WAY too expensive so I'll be looking some more. I do want to hold to the new format of "being on your own" for you foods as this allows everyone to enjoy exactly what they want based on their tastes and lifestyles, so the crop fees will be much lower that the $40 as I'll be looking to keep it in the $20 - $25 range for a 12 hour period. I can tell you that I'll be looking at scheduling a crop for Saturday, July 10th if I can find a suitable location which is two weeks away from Scrapper's Summer Camp.

Scrapper's Summer Camp - Two important things here! First, I'm not going to limit the number of "luxury options" for the weekends. That said, you can go to the website, www.midsouthscrappers.com, and print off your registration form and send it in selecting the "luxury option" which is the bed and table to yourself if that's what you wanted. The second big thing is that there needs to be a whole lot of you sign up filling these cottages so the weekend can go on. At this present time, there's just not enough that have "officially" signed up to keep it afloat. I've heard from several croppers that plan on coming but I can't count you until you register and submit your payment.

Payments ... The deadline for all monies to be in is Friday, June 4th! This date is fast approaching!!!! It's only 3 weeks away from this Friday! That means that there's really not enough time for you to split your payments into three payments unless you're going to make a payment every week, which is fine.

Please note ... Glynn and I will be leaving for vacation this Saturday, May 15th and will not be returning until Monday, May 31st. If you send in your registration, please send me an email letting me know this and what you've paid for so I can mark my tally sheet which I will have with me while we're gone. You'll also need to let me know who your roommate or bed/table mate is depending on what you select if you have someone coming with you. If you don't have someone coming with you, I'll do my very best to place with croppers you're sure to love! You can also call me if you'd prefer at 901-413-1589.

Get the word out to your croppin' buds and get them fired up (and signed up) about spending a summer weekend away with just the girls!

Thanks,
