David Wells gave an overview of how to set up an account for the CrabFest to both buy tickets and set up your account for bidding. Doing this early makes checking out for bidding much quicker at the event. Buying a table is a bit different, please send David or Patti an email if you would like to buy a table so that they can set you up. If you want to email the flyer to friends it will be out in a club wide email soon.
