Disney on Ice Discounted Tickets

 

FINALLY I have an answer!!

 

Ok so the show in December is at the Agganis Arena this year, not TD Garden.

They no longer have me buy them ahead but send me coupons so you can buy your own tickets (each coupon is good for up to 6 tickets)

They were supposed to be sent a week ago Monday but I never got them.  They Fed-Ex’d new ones so I assume I will have Monday.

 

My Understanding (so don’t quote me or yell if I am wrong) is that the coupons entitle you to up to six tickets at the rate of $15. 

It is also my understanding that the tickets are goof for shows next Thursday and Friday only.

 

Please let me know if you need tickets.  Let me know if you want to pick up or have me mail.  If you want them mailed please provide address if you are not my home.

Also keep in mind the timing issue on mailing!  They are only good (I understand) for next Thursday and Friday.

Training for Wednesday is CANCELLED

 

 

A small request from a foster parent

 

 

As you are aware, we did not have the Helicopter Santa Party this year as the owner of MAC and helicopter chauffer to Santa found out before the party last year that his body was consumed with cancer.  Today, a year later he is still fighting his battle.  Sue Genovese, a foster parent thought it would be a wonderful idea to have all the kids send him cards!

 

So her request is simple.  Please have the child in your home send a get well or Christmas card to John to let him know we are thinking of him. Please send this week.  Deadline to receive them is Dec 20th.

 

Sue and I will be hand delivering them to him and wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could fill a huge Santa sack with them! (or better yet maybe Santa can come with us to deliver!!!)

 

 

cards can be given to me, or sent to :
