ANA NE Discussion Forum October Brunch
« on: August 23, 2012, 01:57:30 pm »
Hi All!
My drinking buddy Phyl  ;) has asked me to get plans rolling for the October apple dumplin' get together at Maxwell's in Worcester, MA. For those that are not familiar, twice a year for the last five years or so we have had an informal gathering to eat (delicious brunch) with fellow ANAers (awesome folks). It started with 6 of us and at the last brunch there were 28! Spouses/partners/friends are so welcome too.

For more info about the brunch www.maxwellmaxine.com

Does October 14th work? Please let me know asap so I can book the room.
If not, what date does?

Look forward to hearing from all the regulars as well as the newbies.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

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.

Hi,

October 14th works well for me, count me in, so glad to hear that Jane, Andy, Kathy and Bob are attending.  This is the first time all summer, well now it's 9/3, that I have logged on.  The summer was crazy for me, my mom has been ill and now my sister was dx with uterin CA.  Will this dark cloud ever go away.  Anyways it will be great to see everyone again.
