Friday we will be spending the day at the Buyers Mart and that evening we will attend a fashion show followed by dinner provided by the MAT club. Saturday will be an optional visit to the Princess Diana exhibit. The price is not final yet, it depends on points and who all can attend. This is going to be an awesome experience and a great way to get to know other members in the club, be sure to sign up on the 3rd floor in EH this week!
