<DIV>BANQUET<BR>Hey, the stock market seems to have bottemed out so don't skip
the banquet and miss all the fun just because your retirement fund is
down. For $60 a head this is a great deal to be with your
friends, the sirloin, pork, and salmon dinner is pretty darn good, the
band rocks, the auction is a hoot, the trophies are spectacular, and the girls
and guys look so hot when they're all dressed up. Sign up now, just be
there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Deadline: Monday is the deadline to get a table for the banquet! It's a bit
late to mail it in, but you can e-mail the PDF form or try calling it in.
Here is the PDF form</DIV>
