I am not sure if I will be able to go to the Frozen Four this year but I could help out with the dinner. I would be willing to help nag people to send in their reservations, checks, etc. I would also collect names, meal choices and money and then turn over to the local organizer. So, if you are hesitating to volunteer to organize the dinner I can help with the paper work. Let me know.
