*** Wear a mask to keep with the Mardi Gras theme if you would like! This is NOT mandatory, but I do know of numerous people who have asked and mentioned this and it sounds like a GREAT idea!!! You can find a mask for the party at any party store or costume store, ie.....Party Central, Party City, or even Ebay! Go with basic or go elaborate........it is all up to YOU!!!! 
***Red Roof Inn on Advantage Place, located off of Cedar Bluff is giving ya'll a GREAT deal of $39.99 + tax, per night for staying with them!!!! They have a block section for POF and the number of rooms are limited so make your reservations early and mention that you are with POF to get the fabulous price!!!!!
This party looks like it is going to be a great one and we are there to CELEBRATE, so dress up, dress casual........wear your mask and be ready to PARTY!!!!

Don't let the numbers worry you as only more people are bound to sign up between now and the event, and some aren't even signing up, but showing up. AND.......some are bringing a friend or 2 with them.
I have announced my greeters in the main post and they are as follows: flowersrlucky777 sah957 ekb0106 Thank you ladies!
I have had several people ask me about the Venue and ask what all is on the menu and there prices. I have found a website for ya'll to look at if you would like: www.paulsoasis.com
Things to remind ya'll of.............
***This is NOT a costume event............only a MASK event, and only if you want. It is just to keep with the theme of Mardi Gras and will be so much fun! Also, to keep with the theme, ya might want to wear the Mardi Gras colors of purple, green, or gold.
***Red Roof Inn is offering block rooms at $39.99 + tax for Saturday night. Make your reservations and mention that you are with POF to get this special rate!
