Senior Trip - Canary Islands are a Go!

Hi Seniors.  I got some good news today.  The new airline that flies to the Canary Islands has a little cheaper price and it flies direct from Casablanca.  The trip to the Canary Islands can still happen!  The total for the trip will be 6000 dhs (4000 you have already paid, so just an additional 2000 dhs, remember we can do some scholarship). 

Several people have backed out of the trip, please confirm with me if you are not going.  I only have listed below people who ARE going.  If your name is on the list and you do not plan to go, you must tell me immediately.  Please look over the attached letter with your parents for detailed information.

There have been a few changes.  One is the dates of the trip.  Due to the fact that the new airline only flies on certain days, we had to alter the trip.  We will leave on Wednesday, May 30th and return Sunday, June 3rd.  Pending approval, you will still have Monday off.

I really need to send an email to confirm flights tomorrow (Tuesday), so please let me know so we can get this plane tickets, the plane tickets are only 3330 dhs.
