You're going fishin' again, aren't you!?!?!?!?!   :o  :o  :o


Ok, folks, spoke to Maxwell's and we are confirmed for the boardroom again (immediately on the right when you get off the elevators, for those that haven't attended before).  All set for 11:30am.  Jane, fab job hun! Thank you! xoxooxoxoxo

FYI, Trish Butler from the ANA Metro Boston Support Group can't join us for this one, but she does have a support group meeting for Saturday, May 10 in Waltham.  Just wanted to note it as it was a genuine pleasure to have her join us last time for the brunch (once she arrived! GPS'... go figure!)... and want to show her our support as well for her ANA meetings.  I'll be there and hope you can join as well. Info available for those that want to attend.

Updated Brunch attendees (minus the one going fishin... AGAIN!) ;)

FYI all... deadline to join or send regrets is this Friday, May 2, so I can give Gil (my fave Brazilian nut) the dumplin headcount! :D

Theresa  :-*

I spoke to Jane on the phone the other day and her attendance is questionable.  I certainly hope she is able to make it.

Ok, today is deadline all... any changes, pls advise asap.

For those of you that may have last minute issues and need to reach me, I have 2 mobile phones numbers available for you to reach me, if need be.....pls email/PM if you need the number(s).

*runs off to decide which MuMu to wear to accommodate all the food and dumplins*

Phyl:

Tina and I are all set to go for Sunday (4th).  Hope the weather holds out and we just get showers, not rain.  The directions supplied on the Maxwell's website look pretty simple.  Besides, Tina is a great 'navigator' so who needs GPS? 

I assume the host or hostess will direct us to 'the boardroom' or there willl be a sign, but I know it's 'immediately on the right as you get off the elevator', as you noted in a prior post.  Thanks.  I would hate to be hungry and lost in a restaurant.  :)

Looking forward to  enjoying the food and the company.

Jim (and Tina)
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.

Just wanted to say to the members of the NE ANA Forum Gang - have a fantastic brunch tomorrow.

I am so jealous that I cannot join you.

I definitely think the Chicago area members need to work on something like this; it sounds like it will be a great time!

Someone have a dumpling and a bloody Mary in my honor!
