Subject: 2nd Annual Cornish-L Virtual Christmas Party - Update 13
Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 23:51:54 -0700


Hi,All,

We've now exchanged 701 messages about this year's party over seven
days.

67 the first day
146 the second day
62 the third day
58 the fourth day
67 the fifth day
50 the sixth day
44 the seventh day
46 the eighth day
65 the ninth day
30 the tenth day
32 the eleventh day
22 the twelfth day
17 the thirteenth day
19 so far today

We've lots of great food, and an abundance of drink <G> scheduled to
arrive at the party. We've heard some good stories about our ancestors,
and Christmas in some of the more remote parts of the globe <VBG>. Now
I'm not one to dwell on superstitions, but it's mighty strange that
we've heard not a word of, or from, that Woonie crowd this year.
Perhaps they've all emmigrated to Ireland?

Remember to address your preferences for transportation, pickup point
and names of those attending to Jo in a private message at:



Messages about what you are contributing to the party, and what animals
you're bringing, should be sent either to me privately, or to the list
generally, not to Jo.

Thanks, Jo.

All the best,

John & Judy Zimmerman
Mesa, Arizona

-------------------------------------

The 2nd Annual CORNISH-L Virtual Christmas Party will take place on
Friday and Saturday, 18 & 19 December.

The party will take place in three locations:

The Caerthillian Hotel, St Keverne, The Lizard, Cornwall, with Veronica
as the hostess

The farm of William and Jenefer Rowse, Lancarffe, in Bodmin, with Ann
Tumser as hostess

St. Michael's Mount, with Connie Saunders as hosstess

Shuttles will be available on demand for you to move from one to the
other, or for side trips to family haunts. <G>

Lots of you have volunteered to provide goods or services. Here's the
list I have so far. If you think you should be on it for something I
missed, or shouldn't for something I didn't, just write to me and I'll
make the adjustment.

Don't be shy. If you have thoughts about anything concerning the party
- speak up!
