Hi all

Need to do an "FYI".... from me and Jane (jcinma).

We will be collecting brunch money upon arrival to the restaurant.  We have run into 1 or 2 issues in the past and appreciate everyone's understanding. We will confirm exact amts with the restaurant upon arrival.  I believe the brunch is $19.95 plus tax and gratuity per person.

We truly appreciate everyone's understanding.... for those using credit cards, that is fine... will be handled accordingly.

thanks all for understanding... btw, have confirmed the dumplin's with Gil...... and we will have extras! :)

Signed,
Your apple dumplin' brunch bunch hostesses with the mostest!

Hi Rich

I rec'd word from Theresa that she won't be coming due to other issues.... I tried desperately to sway her decision as she is the "Queen of the Dessert Table" but, sadly, she can't join us.....  :'(  :'(

thanks for understanding, all, about pre-eats $ collections. Will be most helpful and appreciated.

See you all in a few hours. Drive carefully! :)

Just returned (with Tina) from the N.E. ANA Discussion Board brunch in Worcester, Massachusetts and can attest that a good time was had by all attendees, including this one.

Met some old and new friends and had a delicious brunch, too!  I'm sure photos will be posted soon.  Thanks to Phyl and everyone that had a part in organizing the event.  See you all in October!  :)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

My husband Kevin and I had a great time as well and those dumplin's were more than I ever could have imagined!  It was great meeting everyone, can't wait until we do this again!!  I second Jim in thanking Phyl for organizing the brunch, she's the bomb! And much thanks to Jane for the name tags...

I can't stop smiling, laughter is the best medicine  ;D

I'm in a rush this am and hope this link works.... if not, post here and will try to fix.... but, as you can see, my fave Brazilian Nut, Gil, totally went out of his way on the dumplins!  Dang, were they good.

Great to see the gang, all the new faces (Liz and Ernie survived! :) )

Next brunch.... Sunday, Oct 17, 12pm.

Thanks again all for coming out and enjoying! :)
