Hey Everyone,
This is the info on Wicked at the Fox Theater trip we are planning. We have set up the trip for Wednesday night Oct. 22 at around 5pm to leave. We will eat dinner in downtown, and the show starts at 8pm. Mrs. Arends will drive one car and I will drive the other. The show requires a 20% down payment which I will make, as soon as I receive your replies. The money is due by Thursday Sept 11, and each ticket is $43.70. The dress for the evening is nice, no jeans, or clothes with holes in them. It will be an awesome experience. So please let me know by email, julie.clifton@cobbk12.org, if after speaking to your parents and being able to make the fiancial committment you can go. Have an awesome three day weekend.
