[Enzo Alibrandi]

I can't believe today is the first day I'm reading the actual e-mail Stretch sent on the 7th of January about the invitation to your TCC event. What an invitation!!

I heard from Ren Man a week or so ago saying he would really like to see us at the event this year, not realizing we really had a special invitation to come. I e-mailed him back that we probably wouldn't make it but I would send prizes as usual.

Then today I received an e-mail from Stretch on the event and at the bottom of the e-mail is a copy of the January 7th e-mail with the special invite that we had been voted to be the special guest.

Thank you guys so much. It means a lot to receive this offer. Even though we probably still won't be able to make it due to a lot of family obligations it has touched me in a big way. I always strive to help all the events such as yours and I try to help everyone out as best I can and even though its a business I feel like friends with many of you. I mean that. Its so good to all of a sudden get the same feeling back.

I'm not sure what happened with the original e-mail. I know so many come through now that Enzo sometimes deletes some inadvertently so I apologize for not immediately responding.

I already was going to send door prizes but you can bet now I'm sticking in a few more for good measure.

Thanks from Paula and Enzo
