Good afternoon.

Kelly Fisher & WeiWei signed pictures and cue ball updates.

Their manager, Steve Rau, has all the names for Kelly and WeiWei to complete the autographs. Kelly and WeiWei are traveling, but will be back for the VNEA Nationals at the end of May.

I'll be able to get all the pictures and cue balls at that time, then distribute them through your league operator in early June.

I know Kelly and WeiWei really wished they had the items at the event to give to you directly, but they simply did not arrive when they were scheduled to.
