Firebird Association Needs Your Help:

 

Zing Zang: At our last two reunions Mr. Richard Krohn, President of the Zing-Zang Corporation, graciously gave the Firebirds several cases of Bloody Mary Mix. To show our appreciation, and it won't cost anyone a cent, please help by asking the Commissary or Package Store manager at your location to stock his mixes. By the way, Mr. Krohn didn't ask us to do this. In addition, if you would like more information or would like to purchase some most excellent Zing Zang cocktail mix products -- Bloody Mary Mix, Margarita Mix, Pina Colada Mix, or Strawberry Daiquiri Mix -- just click on the Zing-Zang emblem below. We really need your help and will certainly appreciate your cooperation. "The Firebirds take care of their own."

Endorsement: The late Robert E. "Bob" Tinney, former 17th TAS Commander, once said, "I haven't found a Bloody Mary Mix that compares to Zing-Zang."

For the Y2K reunion, Blenheim Bottlers, donated several cases of what has to be the best ginger ale in the whole wide world. There are two versions, Hot and Not so Hot. Neophytes should begin by sipping the Not so Hot version. But, please don't inhale while imbibing. Breathing Blenheim's effervescence can be hazardous to one's nose.

Blenheim has been a very special ginger ale since 1903, and their motto should be "Blenheim ginger ale, much more than a mixer." It may be ordered directly using: Blenheim Bottlers, P.O. Box 452, Hamer, SC 29547, or by phoning 800.270.9344.

So, give Blenheim Bottlers a call and order a case or two. Please let them know that the "Firebird Association" sent you, and how much we appreciated their generosity.
