a warm invite to Lansing!

Subject: Lansing Regatta

Hi All,
Just wondering if any of you will be making the Lansing Regatta next Saturday, May 19? If you are coming, do you need to be fixed up with accommodations? We have lots of room. Just as a note, the East Lansing Arts Festival is on the same weekend and is a great small university town experience. Please let me know ASAP (we've got some cleaning to do :). Thanks,
Marc <mailto:marc27732b@gmail.com>
