Yesterday we had our final Convention Meeting to finalize the agenda and
much more!

We are ALMOST ready to launch!

We are STILL lacking nice specimen shells for the oral auction!     We
would like to have at least 100 lots!    PLEASE (especially dealers)
send them as soon as possible.  We will not accept any shells after June
7 when the list will be printed.  Any shells received after that date
will be turned over to the 2002 Convention Committee.

Our raffle items this year will be:

Pertrocus vicdani   Kosuge, 1980
Conus milneedwardsi  Jousseume, 1894
Sailor's Valentine - hand crafted
Shell Afghan - hand crocheted
"She'll Love It" - A beautiful large white shell chuck full of goodies
only to spoil her!

Over 85 tables are not reserved for the Bourse...and over 100 are
registered.   I understand the hotel rooms are filling up fast!

See you all soon!

Shellingly, Bobbi
