Los Angeles Area Meetup
« on: November 20, 2008, 12:19:41 pm »
Hello All:

I live in the Los Angeles area and thought it would be nice to connect with other recovering or newly-diagnosed ANers on a regular basis, perhaps at a comfortable low-key diner or coffee shop, for some conversation and fellowship.  Perhaps we could convene once every couple of months or on a quarterly basis.

If you might be interested in participating in such a gathering, please respond or drop me a PM and I will put a little list together and set something up.

Regards,

Francesco

Hi Francesco,

I think that's a wonderful idea - count me in. Besides the other LA ANers on the forum, I know a couple of others not active on the forum who may also be interested.

Thanks for putting this together,

Francesco, I didn't know you lived in LA.  I'm all in favor of us getting together.  Nancy, Lainie and I have been visiting ANers at St Vincents when they have a break from their pre-surgery physical -- sort of moral support and to answer questions.  But it would be fun to get a group together.  What part of town are you in?

dang!  :o  I'd be there in a New York minute, if possible... sounds like a great idea. You've all been salivating over the NE Forum Apple Dumplin' gang brunch.... it's been a while since you all last had one. I think Mark and marystro and some of the gang got together a year or so ago in S. CA..... you all are overdue.  Thrilled you are organizing this. Have a fab time!

Hello All:

I would like to propose a brunch gathering on Sunday, December 14 at 12:30 p.m. at Jerry's Deli on Beverly Blvd., near the Beverly Center.  Jerry's is huge and there are always plenty of large tables available.  There's also a back area that is relatively quiet and a good place to linger and talk. 

Here are the details:

What:  Los Angeles Area AN Brunch
When:  Sunday, December 14, 12:30 p.m.
Where:  Jerry's Deli West Hollywood
8701 Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90048
310-289-1811 

I hope we have a great turnout and look forward to meeting you guys.

Drop me a line if you plan to be there. 

Thanks!

Francesco

PS Marci, we will certainly shoot to arrange a January gathering around the time of your visit to LA or if anything, I would be glad to meet up with you for coffee or something.  Keep us posted on your travel plans.

Hey Francesco

Count me in.  I love Jerry's.  The only bad thing about it is deciding what to order.  Nancy?  Lainie?

Francesco,

Seems like we'll have both Rick and Marci in town at the same time in January. We may have to start planning next month's get together while we all have our calendars with us tomorrow!

See you at Jerry's!
