Spring Carnival (Roxbury Mill)

["chuck graves" <chuck_graves@mail.hq.faa.gov>]

     Greetings to all the denizens of the Merry Rose.
     
     There was a small typo in the April ACORN on the announcement for 
     Roxbury Mill's Spring Carnival. A tab is missing from the adult price 
     list and it has been causing some minor confusion. Below I have posted 
     the announcement for clarification. I would appreciate it if you could 
     circulate this as best you can.
     
     In addition, I am interested in experimenting with the practice of 
     e-mail reservations. So feel free to post me here or at my wife's 
     account (meraud@access.digex.net). I'll let you know after the event 
     if the experiment was successful.
