<p>Hello! Does anybody plan to attend this reception on 3/9/2012? Can you tell us more about it? Thank you.</p>
<p>We received a letter from CBS a few days ago that briefly mentioned this reception which is to be held in the afternoon, and said more details would be forthcoming within the next few weeks. I’m wondering if you received the same letter we did perhaps? I would love to hear more about what we will be missing since we won’t be able to make it up there that Friday afternoon (D has a Biology competition that day that will run from 4 until 9 pm) and it is a six hour drive from Illinois to Minneapolis : (</p>
<p>We received the invitation via email twice but not letter (perhaps we are OOS/California) and the same meaning like your letter. The reason we asked is we can’t make it too because it’s on Friday/school day/OOS… We are wondering if it’s the same like the honor program tour and like you we’re afraid we might miss something important. Thank you very much for sharing your thought. By the way we are asking for our son.</p>
<p>Well the mail just arrived with an official invite just now! I will try to PM you with a scan of the invite since I don’t think I can paste a picture into a post here on CC.</p>
<p>Is it mandatory to attend?</p>
<p>They “invite” you to come, they’re not saying “Come here or else.”</p>
<p>I expect it to be very similar to the CBS sneak preview.</p>
