REGISTRATION

Before I get to the truly exciting details, I just want to take a minute to stress the value to you of registering online for this event! 

• Register online for only a $10 donation to Herndon-Reston FISH, Inc. (keep your ticket for tax time)  THAT's a 50% savings from the $20 donation at the door!

• The first 45 people to register online will receive a FREE CUPCAKE from Red Velvet Cupcakery, good for the day of the event!

• Anyone who registers online, by 11:59pm on April 29, 2011, will be entered into a special drawing from which two door prize winners will be selected!

• If you register online, all you'll have to do is show your ticket and in you go!  No paperwork to fill out at the door!

I've been getting some great donations, and everytime I'm able to report a new registration, the # of donations and the VALUE of the donations we receive goes up!!  So, the sooner you register, the better the door prizes, trivia prizes and raffle prizes will be - and the more of them there will be!

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND REGISTER ONLINE NOW AT WWW.FEEDTHEFISHEVENT.COM
