[Osta-board] Sponsors needed for the Awards Banquet

[Lela Thieme]

I have some ideas...a script would be great...I know the one I would like
to ask will require a 45 day before I receive a response....they just gave
$1000 to our chamber and gave $15000 to my playgroup project a couple years
ago!  They are great supporters of local and beyond...
