RESCHEDULED: ANA NE Discussion Forum Brunch -- Sunday, APRIL 17, 2011 12:00pm

[Jim Scott]

Well, folks.... I had 2 more cancellations.... so, do we cancel the brunch? It seems that the time frame is inconvenient for many and since the numbers are dwindling, please note here your thoughts on canceling it and rescheduling for the spring.

With the risk of winter weather approaching (which would force us to forgo the 200-mile round trip) and the reality of crowded schedules for many of us, I vote to cancel.

I trust that the spring brunch would produce a large turnout, as many of us would be suffering from dumpling deprivation as well as missing the personal contact with other AN patients.

I understand canceling this one.  It is more fun with more people there to catch up with.  See you in the spring!

I'm okay with it Phyl. You know it's been a while for me, but if you want to move it out a few weeks or wait until spring that's okay with me as well.

Ok, based on all the cancellations and inputs.... boy, this is a first.... I will cancel the brunch     

I'm sorry, all, that it just wasn't meant to be this time. Please start a new thread to see when in spring would work best for all.

Hi,, Phyl,

I am so bummed, I guess I missed it about people cancelling, I thought we had enough people to go, oh well, I was planning on going, but will see you all in the spring.  I just hope that I pass my MRI on October 25th.  Wish me luck and see you all in the spring.

I know.... it's a first after.... oh, I lost count.... 7 or 8 brunches.... BUT, I've alerted Gil that he can rest his fingers for now on them apple dumplins and to prep for spring!  PLU-EEEEZE keep us updated on the MRI.

Hi Phyl and everyone,

Guess this brunch wasn't meant to be--I hadn't checked my e-mail for several days now and just this morning I came on to send my regrets--my daughter- in-law called me last night asking me to babysit Oct 17 as my son is running in his first half marathon...Of course I couldn't refuse...

I am saddened to hear of Bill's stroke but sounds like he will recover which is great so maybe we will see him in the spring... 

Definitely hope to see all us "brunchies" in the Spring... 

Best always,

Mary (aka Grammy Mary) (Matthew has graduated from calling me Mimi to Grammy now)...

I usually miss the spring brunch because it lands on my fishing trip ... so it may be another year before you see me !

[elliemae]

I'm bummed too ... late in checking in, and sorry to hear the news about Bill and this news too.

Well, after another long winter, we'll definitely be ready for double dumplings!!   
Here's hoping Bill is back, and Joe can make it too!

Good luck on your MRI, Lisa!

See you all in the spring!

0.5mg should do the trick!



OK, folks.... alternate date in the Spring? I need to book the reservation now due to spring bookings (ie: engagement parties, college graduations, etc).  Please note here alternate date... we usually do in April/May timeframe.

Phyl

[LisaP]

Hi Phyl,

I vote for early sometime in April, I don't have a 2011 calendar handy to see when Easter is.  I have my daughter graduating from College in May, (thank god, now my husband and I will have some money), so May would be iffy for me since I do not know the date yet for the graduation.   

This info is for Phyl and me and any other Red Sox Fan::::::Opening day is April 8th, Friday against the Yankees, so that whole weekend they are playing the Yanks, also have home games on the weekend of the 16th and 17th and 30th and May 1st, so traffic could be a problem.  They are away on the weekend of the 1st and 2nd and the 22nd and 23rd.  Just thought you would like to know .  But like I said before I do not know when Easter is.

Lisa

PS My doctor gave me 2 ativans for my MRI in case I lose one, yeah right!!!

[lholl36233]

April is great for me.  When I told my mother the October brunch was cancelled, she said, "I was looking forward to the apple dumplings".  She'll have to eat 2 in April.

Phyl ~

We usually meet for the brunch in mid-to-late April.  Easter is the 24th which leaves the 3rd, 10th or 17th .  I prefer a slightly later date due to inclement weather concerns so my choice would be the 17th - but I'm not adverse to a different date if that works best for others.
