NY/NJ Area ANers - Mark Your Calendars!
« on: January 29, 2010, 04:16:37 pm »
Yes, folks, it's about time that we got together again for brunch and fun!  Wendy and I have arbitrarily picked Sunday, May 2 at 12 Noon for our next get-together.  As usual, we will meet at Brendan's in NYC (42 W. 35th Street - Btwn 5th & 6th)  Please spread the word - it would be great to have another good turnout!

So, who is in?  :D :D
