[SEL] Portland 2005 Dinner/Auction

[Dave Rotigel]

Hi All,
	The Annual ATIS Dinner at Portland will be on Thursday, August 25th at 
6:00 PM this year. As in past years the dinner will be at the Back 40 
Junction in Decatur, IN.  Decatur is about 25 miles north of Portland on 
Rt. 27. The Back 40 Junction is on the west side of Rt. 27 at the north end 
of town.
	Again this year we will be having the ATIS Charity Auction following the 
meal. I trust that Glenn Karch will again be running the auction. Start 
thinking now about what you might donate to the auction. Last year we 
raised almost $3,000.00 for charity at this event. I'm hoping that we can 
top that this year! (I understand that a patron of the arts will be 
donating a FIXED MAYTAG and another person is thinking about FIXING a John 
Deere tractor for the event!)
	I talked to Ellen (at the Back 40) earlier this evening and told her that 
I'd give her a "count" for the dinner as the time drew near. I'd like to be 
fairly accurate this year. Last year we had about 85 people at the dinner. 
If you plan to join us for the dinner this year please let me know and let 
me know how many will be in your party. I'm at rotigel at alltel.net  Portland 
happens in only 136 days, 1 hour, 29 minutes and 2 seconds. Don't be late!
	Dave

PS, If you already told me that you would be attending the dinner please do 
so again. I'll start keeping a "count" tonight.
