Take me out to the ball game!

V.P. Melissa Tidd's email from July 17th:
"Hi, everyone. Thank you to all who sang yesterday! And thank you to Dennis for conducting! Everything went well! Luckily, it only sprinkled at the game. But of course I understand the concern that we were all feeling.
I have 28 tickets left, and they are good for the rest of the 2023 season. I believe you would just have to exchange at the box office. If you paid for a ticket(s) and would like to retrieve them, we can meet up somehow for me to give them to you. If you had expressed interest but didn't pay me yet, please let me know your intentions. If you are not interested in the tickets, I can try to make other arrangements with them. If I looked at the calendar right, the last home game of the season is September 15. Also if you paid me but do not want the tickets, I'll give your money back.
Have a good night, everyone! Melissa"
