To: All Friends of FTSP and FoFTSP leaders
As per the attached abbreviated announcement, you are invited to our umbrella organization annual dinner meeting.
The original announcement invitation was too large to send out by Google Group email so I created a smaller size version that is attached. Then since my wife and I are planning on attending, I tried and was able to log on and pay using the link thru my pay pal account, and printed my receipt, however, that said, it never asked for our names so I am awaiting the next shoe to drop.
Attached and repeated below is the announcement; note that there is an RSVP cutoff date of ….September 13, 2025
I have been to these before and they are fun and if memory serves me Alan Levere was always very supportive of FTSP when he worked for DEEP in Hartford.
Here are the details:

Hi Cliff,
Sorry I don’t. Janet designed the invite for us, not myself. I just forwarded what I was sent. I’ll copy Chris Koster, our chair for the event, and Janet just in case they have a smaller version.

Hi to Sherry too!

Eileen,
Two quick items: Sherry and I are deciding whether to attend or not.
I tried to send out your invitation to all FoFTSP members in our Google Group but your invitation is too large. I need a version less than 8 megabytes, do you have a smaller version and I can send it out to a larger group.
