IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING THE FORT WAYNE ZOO OUTING ON SEPTEMBER 17TH!!!

To all of our HBC families with young campers ages infancy to 12 years old, we apologize if you didn't receive the mailer for the Fort Wayne Zoo outing on September 17th!  I spoke with the Post Office today and unfortunately, they can only guarantee that the mailer was sent to those families with a 479 zip code.  They've been working through some issues with the recent changes requiring mail to go through Kokomo.  The Lafayette Post Office said that they've had several other customers encounter the same problem.  Unfortunately, our deadline to order tickets is tomorrow--Wednesday, September 14th.  Please see the post below for a link to the letter and waiver.  We would still like to get as many of you to come as possible so please send in your waiver AND call, email or send me a facebook message as soon as possible with the names and ages of those attending so I can turn in the numbers.  Sorry for the inconvenience!  We hope to see you at the Fort Wayne Zoo!
Thanks!
