NY/NJ Area ANers - Mark Your Calendars!

[Debbi]

G-man - great!  You'll get to meet some great people and we'd all love to meet you.  Hopefully Mickey will be there.  He's another W & W like you.  As we get closer, I'll PM everyone with my cell phone (except JTD who's already got it!  )  And, Joe, Willie said he's totally in for the beer!

Wow, sounds like a great time and I would love to fly in, but with a college graduation May 8, confirmation May 9 and middle-school graduation May 16 I don't think I can fit in a trip to New York. So sad. Hope you all have fun.

Debbi,

My girlfriend Patty is likely to come also.  So you can add her to the list.

Wayne

[Debbi]

She is added and I am looking forward to meeting you both! 

We have several anniversaries to celebrate (mine included, come to think of it - f/up MRI on Apr 27). 

Let's get the party hats out!  I hear Joe D is bringing the tee-shirts and buying beer for everyone (just checking to see if you are reading this, Joe...)

New Jersey has their own Acoustic Neuroma Association.  How cool is that?

Clicked on the link and there is lots of informative stuff - for example, the info on the BAHA.

Now, I'm not only jealous that you guys get together for parties, but that you have your very own association.

Debbi and Wendy,

I've just learned that I'm not going to be able to attend on May 2 -- will be in Nashville with my Mother, who's having some health issues.

I'll miss seeing all of you and catching up on everyone's progress, but will look forward to joining you next time (sometime in the Fall?).

Thanks, as always, to Debbi and Wendy for all the organizing. Be sure to take lots of pictures!

I know that a good time will be had by all, and sincerely hope that any newcomers will be encouraged by all the good cheer that this group provides!

Take care,

Catherine (Jersey Girl 2)
