Reminder: Bring Name & Address Labels or a name stamp for your raffle tickets
deliciously bureaucratic) if you put sticky lablels on the half of the
raffle tickets you drop in the drum.
As we all age, the print seems to shrink...
And, for you first-time Festers, these are twin tickets...the half
that says "KEEP" you, uh, keep. The half that says "TICKET" is where
you affix the label and drop that sucker into the Drum.
Rest assured Maryanne K. can sort this out for you...
Safe travels -

Finalize Fest hotel reservations soon
So, if you're planning to join us and haven't made your hotel reservations yet, consider doing so in the next few days.
Call the hotel directly at +1 215 368 3800 to reserve your room. The hotel also has its own inbound toll-free number, 1 (800) 277-3615, that can save you the toll charge.
You can't use the website booking functionality because the special SWL Fest rate ($85) is not available there.
See you all in less than three (egad) weeks
