Catherine,

I'm sorry we won't see you on the 16th and hope your mom will be okay.  I look forward to seeing you again at our next get together.

No fair Debbie!  You beat me!  I thought I was going to be the first one posting.  I wanted to say how great it was to meet everyone and how much I appreciated you for doing this before anyone could get to the forum. 
Meeting everyone made me feel so much better.
I can't wait until the next one either, if you'll put up with me again, that is...

Wonderful pictures, Debbi .....

It is so neat to see more pictures of Forumites, other than the profile pictures.  Looks like you all had a good time.

I am very glad I could make it! It was great to see familiar faces and absentees were sorely missed! Both Ken and Debbi made a huge improvement - whatever you guys are doing is working. Great lunch!

The brunch was great and it was good to meet Kevin, Glen and finally Wayne and his girlfriend Patty.  Debbi did all the organizing this time, so many thanks to you Debbi, and the name tags were a great idea!  I sent you some pictures that Rob took since I am not adept at posting them.  To those of you who were not able to attend the brunch today, I hope we see you next time -- you were missed!
