CHICK FLICKS

The "Flick Chicks" have been enjoying cool movies throughout these hot summer days. Our regular date is the 2nd Monday of the month, usually for an early afternoon movie.


Based on last year, here's what seems to work best:


1. I will email you a reminder on the first Monday of each month.


2. At that time, you need to email me if you are likely to come.


3. My follow-up emails about time, place, movie choices, carpooling options, will only go to those who email me that they are likely to come.


4. On Thursday, when "The Ticket" comes out and the films at Burns Court are announced, I will follow-up with a more detailed email. We generally go to Burns Court, but we are open to any good movie.


5. At that time, you will need to commit to the details. The movie times vary...but we generally go mid afternoon.


The consensus is that we see the movie first and discuss it afterwards at a nearby restaurant.
We usually have lively conversations...and a grand time!

If you are likely to join us next month, just send me an email. (Please do not click on "respond all" - it drives others crazy:)


If you want your name removed from Flick Chicks reminder emails...or you are reading the T2T newsletter and want to add your name, please let me know.
ruthieb2@verizon.net or 387-8304


Come have a hoot with us!
