Sveiki!!

Relax, this will definitely NOT be one of those loooooong mailers we've been putting out lately....need to catch a plane for Latvia this afternoon, and of course both of us still having running around to do.

First, as always, your reminder (for those of you on AOL) about Latvian chat on Sunday evenings, starting at approximately 9pm EST until the last person quits chatting. Sometimes the chat doesn't get going right at 9pm, so if you use this link: Town Square - Latvian chat , and no one's there....it doesn't mean anything's wrong, it means your the first one there! You can then wait for someone else to show up, or check back in a few minutes.

A quick note on the contest...I've already had someone (who likes to win....but then don't all Latvians??) tell me that using their sources to look up answers, some of the dates on some questions are not exactly as I've listed the possible answers in the multiple choices. I used two main sources in putting the questions together to try to verify dates to be as accurate as possible before putting the contest together, but the bottom line here is, when you mark your answer.....close counts!!! For instance, if multiple choice answer is 1268, and your book says this event took place in 1267, choose the answer that's closest and you can't go wrong. I hope that clarifies things! As we mentioned in the last mailer, we're leaving for Latvia today and won't be back until late Sunday night the 17th, so don't be concerned if you turn in your contest entry (or ask a question about it!) and don't hear anything until after the 17th. The laptop isn't making the trip with us this time...the AOL connection in Latvia is so slow it's just not worth the effort! One other quick reminder, please have you contest entries in by October 31 so that we can go through them thoroughly and get prizes out ASAP!! Hope many of you can make it to the chat while we're gone....and we'll resume the mailer after the 17th. Ar visu labu...
