We're still wrapping up the ERB STAR DEDICATION and ECOF 2023 Events.
I've attached the "Honor Role of Donors"
OPEN THE "STARS" WORD FILE HERE
 www.erbzine.com/mag77/stars.docx

This was an unprecedented event for ERB fans and followers and
I want to publicly celebrate those who made it possible.

I have a few swag bags left -- maybe 12-15. These are not for sale, per se,
since I told the Chamber of Commerce we wouldn't sell items with the star logo on them,
but I am offering "late registrations" for those who want the swag.
Cost is $120, postage inclusive, and does not include the cookie or name badge--all six other items are included.
We'll post a photo of the bag and description of contents in a follow-up page.
I also have extra programs, that I will sell solo for $15 each including postage.

LEE CHASE

Nearly 90 years after he lived with Edgar Rice Burroughs in Palm Springs,
step-son Lee Chase reflects on Burroughs’ Golden Palm Star.
The immense history behind this shot makes it
one of the greatest images from the Star for ERB ceremony.
