Anonymous commenting enabled; donate to CSTS!

I just recently realized that anonymous commenting was disabled. I'm so sorry! This has been reactivated, so you can post comments here now.

Also, if you can't make it to Iowa's CSTS event but still want to help out (or if you are coming and want to help out even more), you can now donate to Can't Stop the Serenity: Des Moines!

There will be a list of what we need (food-wise) for the potluck at the after-party, later tonight.

Thanks, and keep flyin'!

Tickets available soon!

Don't worry, the links for ordering will be up VERY SHORTLY.

Also, we have a confirmed site for our after-party! Ewing North Open Shelter House, at 5300 Indianola Rd, is a gorgeous area that will provide us with a great space to hold the after-party, eat food, and play games.

We ARE planning on having a Potluck Lunch, and we need your help! We need to know who can bring food: what kind, how much, things of that sort. We're anticipating anywhere from 150-200 guests this year, so we'd like to have as many people as possible helping out! Please comment here if you're interested in providing food for the event.

May 31st -- Starting Today, All Online Tickets are Will-Call

All right, guys. We're putting the tickets of those who've ordered already into the mail in about an hour.

Starting today, if you order a ticket online, you'll have to pick it up at the event. You keep your receipt, we'll keep your name and email address, and we'll have a checklist at the door so you can get your tickets. Please remember to bring your receipt with you. It'll make life easier for everyone!

Again; questions, comments, concerns are all welcome. June 21 is approaching fast; keep telling everyone you know about CSTS, and keep flying.

T-Shirts available for Pre-Order! (+ poster & ticket info)

You can order t-shirts now, but you'll have to pick them up at the event! We'll have your name on a list.

Ordering link

T-shirts are in limited supply, so hurry if you want one! They're $15 each, but will be $20 at the event (if there are any left!) We might be able to order more t-shirts, but only if it looks like we'll sell out quickly and will need a lot more.

Note: Posters will ONLY be available at the event. We only have 20, so get there early!

The link will also take you to the ticket ordering site. Remember, tickets are $10 (plus $1 for shipping/handling/paypal fee). If you wait until the event, tickets will be $12.

The note on the website is wrong; tickets will (hopefully) be shipped by May 31st. Again, May 31st is our goal to get pre-ordered tickets sent out; if anything changes, it'll be posted here. If you order tickets after May 31st, you'll need to pick them up at the door. We'll have your name and ticket number on a list, so no worries about that.

More updates coming soon!
