I am still hoping that I can get tickets for the arrival
ceremony tomorrow. They do have your information in the event that
extra tickets become available and will notify me immediately. I

By the way _ I know for a fact that these persons are unable to
attend the state dinner and the reception portion:
1.) Sen. Harry Reid and his wife (they have gone home early for
Thanksgiving).
2.) Kuma Gupta and husband (unable to travel to D.C. tomorrow)
3.) Bob Stevens and his wife (top brass from Lockheed Martin)

From Michele Jones to Tareq Salahi
The arrival ceremony (was scheduled to be outdoors) was canceled
due to inclement weather. They are having a very small one inside
the WH, very limited space. I am still working on tickets for
tonight's dinner. I will call or e-mail as soon as I get word one
way or another.

From Michaele and Tareq Salahi to Michele Jones
Hi Michele,
You are an angel!
My cell phone battery died early this evening while we were in
D.C. from our country home, so I just got your message now after
driving back out. But obviously it worked out at the end.... We
ended up going to the gate to check in at 6:30 p.m. to just check,
in case it got approved, since we didn't know, and our name was
indeed on the list! We are very grateful, and God bless you.
We just got home, and we had a very wonderful evening as you can
imagine!
Look forward to seeing you very soon. Say when for dinner - we
can't wait to see you and catch up and share memories of true
lifetime.

Tareq,
You are most welcome! I here the smile in your e-mail and am
delighted that you and Michaele had a wonderful time. :-)
Have an extraordinary Thanksgiving and many blessings to you
both!
Much love,
Michele
