[wmm] Reminder: WMM April 13, 2011 8am at Mo's

[Heather@sundial-travel.com]

I’ve contacted the Cannon Beach Chamber this afternoon letting them know.  As of right now there are 40 passengers showing up at 9:45am in Cannon beach staying for 1hr 20 min.  Once things have slowed down I will send out the days passengers will be coming to your area.  Counts will be the day before.

 

Thank you 

Heather
