Pressing Items Update.
1. Started. I've pledged to not read the end of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire until it's finished. A self-inflicted cruciatus curse!
2. Pretty much done! I've reserved the state headquarters of the MO Daughters of the American Revolution and their wonderful caterers. I hope our British friends find the wry humour in eating lunch at a mansion that belongs to the ancestors of the rebels who kicked their asses in that little scrap a couple hundred years back. I say "pretty much done" because I just got a call from a VERY outspoken member of our community who owns a restaurant downtown and wants to know if the City went through a bidding process--for a LUNCHEON. I told him that, no, we didn't, that nothing was confirmed, and that he is free to send a menu and a price. However, I didn't tell him that, all food being equal, I would much rather have our international guests eating in a well-preserved Victorian-era MANSION than in a not-so-well-preserved restaurant/bar. I mean, there are intangibles here, people.
3. Begun. The guest list of 25 Hometownians is solid. I started the Hometown cheat sheet.
4. Called a would-be sponsor and told that I have to write a letter outlining the reason behind the sponsorship to their corporate office. I'll try.
5. To be completed today before I leave.
6. No. Not even close.
7. Nearly complete! I'm going to do that right...now. See ya!
