Mail Call: MailCall@517prct.org
I need to get this MailCall out tonight, even as short as it is, because we need a very quick response from anyone who might be attending Ben’s ceremony in DC. See the details at the bottom. If you are coming and also want to take the Whitehouse tour with Paul “Your Tax Money at Work” Barrett, (if we can get in), then you need to answer like today! Wednesday! RSVP right now!

Looks like emails are going through. I have learned to send it out in several groups, with less than 100 people per group. There are currently about 350 people on the list.
At any time, if you want to be added or removed from the MailCall list, just let me know.
Donations for any programs involving the 517th should be sent to our treasurer Leo Dean at 14 Stonehenge Lane, Albany NY 12203.
New address for MailCall: MailCall@517prct.org I will also continue to search Ben's gmail and AOL accounts for a while as well.
I am on the road without access to my home computer for the rest of the week. So don’t panic if you don’t see another email until next week. (Does anyone remember when Ben only sent emails about once a week?)
Keep sending news.
Bob Barrett

Wow, the mail calls you have created are really great! Really appreciated all of the pictures too. The one of Fran and Ben was particularly meaningful. Thank you so much for all of your time and effort.

Also, here is an email from Paul Barrett:
I've had a few inquiries about the possibility of a White House tour. As I mentioned, they usually schedule these things six months out so the possibility we'll get one is not great. However, if they don't get us into the White House, they can usually get us a tour of the Capital as a consolation prize. Nevertheless I will need the following information from ANYONE that wishes to participate No Later Than Midnight Wednesday, March 17!!!
