***I have found this post unpublished, I think due to Zigi & Rachel having internet problems... (I assume this is Rachel writing), so hopefully they won't mind I published it... It sounds like they meant to publish it, but somehow it didn't... So, here it is: (Ika)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I don't know if this will go through. We have been having some real trouble with our internet this week. Someone will come look at it tomorrow.

Ika, thanks for all those calculations with the paper/plastic items. Zigi and I would like to commit to bringing the remaining amount of items, including plates, cups, bowls, knives, forks, spoons, and maybe a bag or two of cereal. We have a big suitcase we can devote to this cause.

* Zigi will be happy to plan some fun games for the party. Thanks for the ideas so far. If anyone else has ideas on this, please let him know.

* I will plan the decorations and bring them with me for the party.
I do need to know:
+how many people will be there? (for party favors if I do that),
+and does anyone have an idea of what color theme your mom would love?
+also, who has those place setting cards I saw a picture of? do you want to specify names? I think it would be nice but I would hate to leave anyone out if we went that route? let me know your thoughts on this topic please. . .
+did we finalize on the place for the party? is it at that place Rene gave the website/picture of?

* I would just like to reiterate what others have said. . . Ika and Zuzana thank you for all your hard work organizing everyone for this project, you're doing a GREAT JOB! And Annette it sounds like you are planning great things for the children, thank you for your work too!.

* I'm just curious . . . how is everything with Eva's card/visa/appointment etc?


*Please let me know if there is something else that needs to be planned/accomplished/prepared. I will be glad to help.
