Thank you for the information John. This sounds like a wonderful
eventand does tie in nicely with the annual "Take Back the Night"
programs CSUB hosts.
I might have to see if I can drop in on some of this. It will be hard
as I might be working that day and it is my eldest daughters
birthday. She is turning 5..YIKES!!!
Thanks once again for the info and glad to hae you back.
