Hi Fran,
I hope all is well!!
Looks like I need 2018 racing dates approved by the B.O.S.
I have attached a copy of the current Turf Paradise contract. I also attached the last letter of approval showing the 2015,
2016, and 2017 dates.
The B.O.S.'s have already approved 2017, but now I need 2018 dates approved, please.
What do.you need from me?
REALLY appreciate your help!!!!
