From Lisa Tyson:
Make plans today to attend the San Miguel de Allende CCO in Jan.
We launched our website at www.chiliandcharros.com. We will update it constantly as we finalize our list of sponsors, and as we get more information about prizes, the silent auction, etc. So it is a work in progress, but it gives you an idea of where we are going. (You will see that the prizes for our Open Contests are pretty amazing - so hopefully that will give people even more incentive to come to Mexico!)
 
You will also see on the website that American Airlines has agreed to give us a group discount for the event. The amount of the discount will depend on how many people are coming down, so the sooner people get signed up the better!

From Rick Thomas:
