Isn't it hard to believe we are almost into September? Wow, this summer has flown! I surely hope you've had a very pleasant summer.
Most of you probably know how much I enjoy Jimmy Mazz's shows. Each show is different. I'm attaching a flyer for his next event to be held at Mallozzi's on October 2nd. Let me know re your interest and I'll take care of the tables. I know we'll have front row seats. I look forward to your reply.

New York City Bus Trip - October 21st
A note from Marty and Barbie
As many of you know Barb and I have been exploring the stores in the Garment District in New York City. We have found lots of hats and rhinestones! We have gotten some great buys. Some of you have voiced that you would like to go on one of the trips.
We have found the Yankee Trails trip called “NY MY WAY” gives us a stress-free ride down and back. The day requires LOTS and LOTS and LOTS of walking. We are planning our next trip for October 21st. If you would like to join us please make your arrangements with Yankee Trails.
I will have a typed sheet with store names and addresses. I will also have a copy of a map of the area. The bus will let us off at Bryant Park. We usually walk the blocks to the district shopping along the way. I will also provide my cell number and before you leave the bus you can give me yours. As we all shop at our own pace and we are all in the same area we can meet for lunch if it works out. The bus leaves Bryant park around dinner time so we can either all meet for dinner or we can bring something back to the bus.
It will be fun exploring all the shops and finding our own bargains and our own new stores. We have not yet found much in the clothing line or the shoe line but we hear they are there.
Happy Shopping and be prepared to see more rhinestones than you have ever seen in one place. Hats, Scarves, fabrics and feathers. So make your arrangements with Yankee Trails and let me know if you plan to come along so I have enough maps and store listings.
Comfortable clothing and certainly walking shoes will be needed. No need for red and purple.
Marty
