Don't forget about the Tuesday night IFFI Players production! This
year's play will be "The Solid Gold Cadillac," by Howard Teichmann and
George S. Kaufman, abridged by Nancy Lambert. As always this will be a
must-see event, including a pre-event ice cream social at 8:00 p.m. and
during intermission, thanks to IFI claims.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon at the Hyatt Regency Crystal
