Hello to all the Family,
We are looking forward to the Family Picnic June 27th starting at noon. Thanks to Diane and Ruthie and their excellent ideas, I called a local hotel today to try and book a block of rooms. The hotel is totally booked! Seems there is a major sports event in the area that weekend and almost everything is sold out already. Marian and Doug ran into BIG PROBLEMS with this same event - was that last year Marian?
Anyway, I have found a hotel with rooms and ask everyone who even remotely might possibly need a hotel room to book this place TODAY.
Hyatt Place, Mt Laurel, NJ 856 840 0770. The rate I saw online was 152.00
Debbie and Andy - you guys make sure you have a place too.
And if you can think of someone not on this email - please forward it?
Love
Eileen

News from Diane Lobel
Sorry, been busy with life, very few updates. Here is some tips from Diane. Also the family picnic has been scheduled for Saturday, June 27th SAVE THE DATE!!!
Check this out, it's CRAZY!
Go to restaurants.com, click on $25 certificates for $10 box, enter your zip code and it comes up with offers local to you. Apparently they change each month. Some certificates are $25 for $10, some are $10 on sale for $3 right now. Some are $100 for $40. ....THE THING IT DOESN'T TELL YOU IS...they are on sale for 80% off, don't know if they always are, but they are right now...when you get to the check out, where it asks for discount code enter "MENU" and off comes 80%!Be sure to click on the radio button beside each offer and read the exclusions like minimum, which changes with the dollar amount, or restrictions such as no alcohol included, or two entree minimum.I got a few $10 certificates for places near work for 60 cents each, I got a $25 gift certificate for a local restaurant for $2 ($35 min) and I got a $100 gift certificate for $8!, it does have a $200 minimum, that's how I learned the radio button thing. You print these out yourself, I have a friend who has used them and told me about this.Let me know if you get any!
