LUNCHEON - Thursday, March 11

Let's DITCH this long, long, winter and THE WINTER BLAHS!

Join your New Friends for a day in the sun. Listen to SUMMER music, decorate a new pair of flip flops (a summer gift for you), and enjoy a casual picnic lunch by the "lake."

There will be fabulous prizes and warm conversations. Best of all, you don't have to bring food. Just break out your summer clothes and kick back with us to dream of summer.

Where else can you change your life for only $8? RSVP by Monday, March 8, and pay at the door. Bring a few extra dollars so you won't miss the pulse-pounding drama of an afternoon raffle.

Location: Julie Wehrmeyer's house
Cost: $8.00 & your warm thoughts

THEATRE - Roger Dixon, Manager of the Qwest Center and NFO member, has offered to help us obtain group tickets for Buble's concert on the evening of Sunday, June 27. These will be premium seats (with all of us together) and our discounted price will be $91.50 per ticket. Demand for these tickets is extremely HIGH!!!

If you are interested in attending what is sure to be a fabulous evening, please make your check out to NFO and send to Amy Mosley NO LATER than March 26. Once the checks are in we will order the tickets and write one check out of the NFO checking account. The tickets will then be distributed to each of the attendees. Please don't delay... Roger cannot guarantee that he can hold group tickets beyond this date so we must act fast.

As the event draws closer we will try and plan a dinner spot to go to before the concert as well. Hope you can join us! Please direct questions to Amy Mosley.
