Free Tickets and Stuff Coming to the FAC

At our last monthly meeting, I had the opportuinity to meet with members of the Liberty USO located inside the Philadelphia International Airport. They often receive free tickets, some in advance, some last minute, to area events. I will be receiving approximately 40 tickets to the August 13, 2005 Neil Diamond show at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. If you are interested in going, please contact me for tickets. In order to be fair, I will give them away in pair on a first come, first serve basis. Please watch the web for ticket information from the USO and updates from me in future free events for you and your family.
