Hey bud, in my humble opinion, here are a few better suggestions.
•Pick them up at the airport and get them checked in
•Hop on the streetcar and roll down to Hot Tin rooftop bar for some good cocktails with a view; could also hit up a slew of other great bars like Delachaise, Avenue Pub, or Coote...

That's exactly right. According to the proposed regulations, the gift must be given by 11:59pm on Monday, August 27th. I sent my donation to ACE by wire transfer. I'm sure people could certify mail a donation check too. ...

Actually looks like you are coming out ahead, since you are getting the federal deduction.

Sounds like worst case is that...
